Quote context

[...]

- The booby hatches are full of people that keep things to themselves, either because they're scared of tellin' the truth, thinkin' that they'll make a monkey out of themselves or they figure that no one else can appreciate the situation they're in. Okay?

- Well, the Good Neighbors believe that ain't so.

- And just who...

- A club I belong to back home. It's like the Alcoholics Anonymous.

- Their luncheons are a riot.

- Over the speaker's desk, they've got a great big towel with the letters 'For crying out loud' embroidered on it.

- And every member has his own crying towel, get it?

- Now, when they bring in a bad case, a couple of the Good Neighbors hold the towel for the fella so he can concentrate on weeping, and then don't have to exert himself in any other way.

- Well, it turns out to be a good old-fashioned revival meeting and the fella who has no particular worries at the time, he sort of feels left out of things.

- And if this fella don't actually wind up laughing at himself, at least he feels better.
