Funniest scene?

i consider this movie to be one of the funniest of all time for one simple reason... i can watch it over and over again and still laugh uproarously... i've never quoted a movie as much either... to me the two funniest scenes are when he's with the airplane mechanics and the guy goes "i'm always asking him what are you doing down in south america, you doing some stuck line or something" ... the mock laugh Fletch(or gordon liddie) gives there is absolutely priceless... then he snaps back within one second "so what does he say?"... 10 quarts of prestone...no...make that quaker state... the other scene that absolutely kills me is with the guy with the shotgun... after he's rambling about don corleone and moe green being out of the tropicana the guy goes "what did you want under the bed"..."i didn't want to have to do this, but i'll have to pull rank on ya... im with the matress police, there are no tags on these mattresses" the look on the guys face trying to comprehend what the hell he just said might be the funniest moment in movie history... aboslutely kills me every time i see it..."landlord asked me to watch out for the place" "well i commend him on his choice"...this movie is tremendous...what are other people's favorite scenes?

Don't think anyone mentioned this one.... when Fletch is asked by the pathologist to give him a hand with the autopsy, he's standing there and the smell is affecting him.... something falls on the ground and is clanging around, Fletch says "I'll get it" right before he passes out.

Even better is when Fletch leaves the Records room after passing out and asking about Alan [Ellen] Stanwyk. As he walks out of the records room, he passes by the pathologist and Dr. Jellyfinger, who gave him the proctological exam. To make sure Dr. Jellyfinger doesn't see him, he blows up and loudly pops the paper bag, causing the pathologist who made him pass out, drop what I can only assume is the aforementioned spleen, onto the floor. You can hear it go splat, when they drop it on the floor!
