Robert Schimmel guest star on the Rodney Dangerfield comedy special Nothin'' Goes Right (1988): ''Some of these guys only like it if they think the girl doesn''t like it ; it''s some sort of weird power trip thing for these guys. It''s like anal-sex . I think if you really wanted to try that with a girl and she said: ''OK, but be really gentle because no one ever did anything like this to me before.'' You''d get the hard-on of a lifetime. But if she said: ''Give me that big dick and drive me around the block .'' You wouldn''t be able to get-it-up if there was money involved.''

This phrase is usually remembered as: If you want me, just whistle .
