I don't understand the joke that Clem says when he's cleaning in the hallway, right before the killer mustard gas sequence. He says something like, "Let me ask you something. Does your mother sew?" *smacks the object he's talking to* "Boom! Get her to sew that!" Can anybody explain this? [It's not so much a joke with a punchline, but more like a funny phrase. He was affiliated with the mob, and as such, has most likely been in violent situations. He asks "does your mother sew" and then punches his refelection in the fire extinguisher case (someone's face if a fight was really happening). The "get her to sew that" comment implies that the person he hit would have needed stitches. (thus the reference to sewing.)]

Mistakes
When Clem stops dancing and starts talking to the fire extinguisher, he throws the duster broom handle down, which is in the same direction as the duster. Then when he asks question, "Does your mother sew?" the handle of duster is now sticking out the wrong way. See more...
