Archie Bunker opines about Pellegrino Water

​**Archie Bunker was a character in the 1970s TV show, "All in the Family." It was a satire about a white working-class man-who was an unapologetic racist

This ain't your Polish meathead Poland Springs
this is what comes from what you call
Virgin Springs.--
hey—nobody gets laid there
they are happy just drinking water
may Jesus strike me dead!
It's like seltzer
but it is not made by the hebes --
them people make it like a sucker punch
christians make sure there is no
 bitch slap
of dem bubbles
here-- there are 
no troubles...
She is long, lean and green
a tall glass of water
a regular queen
hey!
you know
what I mean?
