Hey, where is everybody? Isn't anyone interested in guessing quotes anymore? If they by any chance are, here's hint #2:

"No danger, lads! It's as OBEDIENT as a good auto!"

Some of us are still here. I am going senile, and have apparantly, started to lose my long-term memory, in addition to most of my short term memory. So, even with the clues, I can't answer the recent questions. maybe they all come from the '60s (later) stories (which I have only read a few times each). I remember much more from the '40s and early and mid '50s.

Here's a big hint to aid that poor faltering memory of yours, Rob (kidding!).

#3: "All you tourists need is a little IMAGINATION to see geniis and FLYING CARPETS in these ancient streets!"

Yes! That's right! Doggone it! FINALLY a question I could answer, and someone beats me to it! I KNEW I should have bitten the bullet and taken another of my expensive memory pills. Bah! The very learning I received from learning my economic and moral foundation from Uncle Scrooge, keeps me from having the glory of answering an Uncle Scrooge quiz question. Carl Barks would be proud of that irony!!!

Here's a new one--see if you can get overcome your Blinkus of the Thinkus and get this one, Robb:

"I would open my big mouth and get a job stuck in it!" (which Barks story?)

I can see Donald saying that with an ironic look on his face. So, I assume it's in a story in which The Nephews are pushing Donald to get a job, as the family needs it badly. But, I have no clue as to which story it is.

Hint #1:

"Heh! Heh! That's THIRTY CENTS an hour I saved just by being foxy!"

I recall this one, but not the story. It must be something where Scrooge lets his family members get their own reward, instead of paying them. And there are more of such instances. I... I... need a hint!

I don't know the English title, but it's US 4, where Scrooge and his family is kidnapped by the Beagle Boys and they go to this island where these tiny little people live..

The original US printing had NO TITLE listed for this story (similar to "The Horseradish Story").

Correct! I know the story as both "Hawiian Hideaway" and "The Menehune Mystery" (I think I prefer the first title).

Oho! U bent Jan Steen! Firstly, you need to buy a capital letter for your name. That will bring you a little more respect.
