The actual comment, verbatim:
Radio Operator: “Buckaroo, the presidents’ on line one. He wants to know if everythings okay with the alien space cloud or should he go ahead and destroy Russia.”
Buckaroo: “Tell him yes on one, and no on two.”
Radio Operator: “Which was yes? Destroy Russia or number two?!”
(I was a radio operator in the Army when this came out; it’s a personal favorite of mine!)
