My favorite Lloyd Bonafide appearance was also soon after 9/11. "Lloyd 
was arrested for spousal abuse after the New York terrorist attacks. 
His wife came out of the shower with a robe, a towel wrapped her head, 
and holding what looked like a gun - but turned out to be a hairdryer. 
As a veteran, Lloyd went into an automatic defense posture [and shoots 
her. He thought she was a terrorist in 'deep cover' and was now ready 
to act, after 50 years of marriage!]. He thinks that all women who come 
out of the shower with towels on their head are putting themselves at 
risk and disrespecting the men and women who are about to 'spill their 
blood' for their country." From

additions in brackets).
