I just wish they'd release "The Adventures of the Tooth Fairy." KOY, Phoenix, played an hour of it during a station anniversary week years ago, and its even funnier than the Winged Warrior. Miss Helfinger became Nurse Durkin, the Police Commissioner became Dr. Armadingo (dentist) and Benton Harbor (Chickenman) became Newton Snookers (the Tooth Fairy).
Nurse Durkin is more exasperated than Miss Helfinger and gets off some beautiful lines.
Nurse Durkin (to TF): Lower your voice! Do you see those people over there? Why do you think they're holding their faces?
TF: Probably because something hurts in and around their mouth.
Nurse (threatningly): How'd you like to have something hurt in and around your mouth?
