Which TV show?
Trying to remember which show this was from. I think it was sit-com from the 1980s?
In this episode, there's a rumor going around (the office?). The subject of the rumor is a guy and he tells someone, "I know how rumors are. Everyone adds a little more, to make it better and better. Pretty soon, it's terrific! Well, I want to nip this one in the bud now, while it's still boring!"
Rings any bells, my friends?
Marriage is between one man and one woman, to the exclusion of all others.
