    Paul was a cigarette smoker. When he was in his Pee Wee character, he had bodyguards around him whenever he took a smoke break to make sure no kids ever saw him smoking.

    I went to a cinema to watch "Peewee Big Adventure" with a good friend. We were a little high and expecting complete nonsense. When the truckstop lady (Marge?)bugged out, the entire audience drew a deep breath, then howled with laughter.
    Remembering it with glee, I later rented it for my parents. They politely watched it for ten minutes, then, sighing sadly, they both stood up and walked out of the room. I was convulsing as they slunk out.
