But what did Farfel really know about this Scott character? 

 

bullet

Well, for starters, the poor guy had never had a dog before, so he really didn't have any idea what to expect. For that matter, he hadn't even had a roommate in recent memory, so he was a bit set in his ways. Make that VERY set in his ways. And definitely also a bit sedentary. 
bulletPlus, he had a very neat apartment with everything in its place and a place for everything. But Farfel, as you can imagine, changed all that. He pretty much took over the hapless Scott's life. And cost him a small fortune in the process!
bullet In case you were wondering, Scott named his new puppy for Farfel the Dog, the Irish Setter puppet who appeared on TV with ventriloquist Jimmy Nelson and companion Danny O'Day in the '50s. It was Farfel who sang the Nestlé's Quik "chaaaaw-klit" jingle. You can see it here or listen to it here.
bullet But that isn't all. "Farfel" also has other meanings. It is the Yiddish word for small, broken-up pieces of matzo or pasta. And if you spell it a little differently, it's Italian for bow tie-shaped pasta made with semolina.
