Mrs. Wiggins has the last laugh

Warning: Spoilers
The first skit was Mr. Tudball (Tim Conway) takes Mrs. Wiggins (Carol) to lunch for National Secretary Week because his wife told him to. It is a fine restaurant with a snooty waiter (Korman). A conversation between Tudball and Mrs. Wiggins takes place which is typical of the two of them. She asks where the women's restroom is, goes to find it, and returns only to say she couldn't find it. "All I could find was a door with a picture of a woman on it." The waiter returns and she begins to order. She orders three entrees and baked mousse. Mr. Tudball decides he doesn't want to stay due to the expense. He asks the waiter how much it would cost and leaves the amount on the table. When the waiter returns, she tells him she's changed her mind and only wants coffee. She then takes out a sandwich out of her purse and pockets the roll of cash into her bra.

I don't recall many Wiggins skits, but the ones I've seen recently do not show her other than being unbelievably dumb. I can't recall any other skits showing her to be only putting on an act with her boss.

The second skit has a bumbling man and a woman sitting at a bar, one at each end, the only ones left in the bar. He tries to pick her up but is rather clumsy about it. She tries to tell him to skip all that and that she'll agree to a one night stand. (I'm paraphrasing here). No personal details are to be shared, but as they sit finishing their drinks, little facts slip out. Finally they figure out she's the man's cousin. She pulls her coat over her shoulders and he pushes his chair away from her. They agree they should meet once his wife gets to town.

I personally thought she'd end up being a detective checking up on the man, but this is so much funnier.

Both skits were enjoyable, especially Mrs. Wiggins.
