That mysterious page at the end of Big Bang Theory credits
You know, the ones that are titled "Chuck Lorre Productions" and contain a whole bunch of text you can't possibly read in the two seconds they're shown. I'd always assumed they contained humorous content, and was delighted to find their text available online where they can be read at a more leisurely pace. They can be found in the always-helpful Internet Movie Database (imdb.com). Here's a sample: CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #275 ASK CHUCK! Dear Chuck, At a recent dinner party, I found myself in an awkward situation when the host, a devout atheist, sneezed between spoonfuls of his gazpacho. Without thinking, I said, "God bless you." He gave me a withering look and said, as if to a child, "Golly gee, I sure hope he does." The other guests exploded with laughter, while I imploded with humiliation. To avoid future embarrassment, what is the correct response when an atheist sneezes? Troubled with achoo Dear Troubled, First, a little background information. Saying "God bless you" following a sneeze is thought by some to have originated in the sixth century in order to protect the sneezer from falling ill to the bubonic plague. Another possible origin is that people once believed that the devil entered the body during a sneeze and saying "God bless you" could help ward him off. Since the plague has killed something like two hundred million people and the words "God bless you" have, in all likelihood, been said countless times to Glenn Beck, we can safely assume the phrase has no real power against germs or demonic possession. What it does contain is simple human courtesy -- a means by which we express concern for one another. As to how to respond to a sneezing atheist, well, that's easy. Simply say, "Sounds like you're coming down with something, I hope you don't die and rot in a box."
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

Good stuff! I love it when there's little nuggets like that put into shows and movies (like Airplane). For whatever it's worth, I usually say "Gesundheit!" (which is German for health so I'm not sure why people started saying it) or simply "QUIET!!!" (Note that saying "God Bless You!" when someone farts is frowned upon.)
Time for all of you to head over to Beyond My DAW!

I didn't even know there was an actual ending to BBT. I always thought it ended about 2 minutes in by the changing of channels.

I used to "freeze" the end to read the "Vanity Cards", but Comcast covers part of the screen with the "timeline". That's why there's Google! Chuck's a funny guy! @paulo, BBT is an "acquired" taste. T

True. My daughter and her boyfriend watch it all the time. I thought it was OK but after 2 or 3 episodes it seemed like the same situations and dialogue rehashed over and over. They came for dinner last night and dutifully sat through 'Life of Brian' to humour me, but at the end the boyfriend slapped his knees and said 'well..that was a load of old sh!te eh?''

bitflipper ... Simply say, "Sounds like you're coming down with something, I hope you don't die and rot in a box." ... To match the English at the time you might even say ... "hope you don't die by rot from the pox." Then, not only do you have a reply, but also a historical term that matches his idiocy in not knowing the difference between politeness and a badly translated book! Sheep dip stix, pretty soon you might as well consider Harry Potter the new Gospel!
As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!

Anything that needs a "laugh track" obviously isn't funny enough to get laughs on it's own.... so I don't watch it. Some friends who went camping with us were raving about how funny TBBT was.... so the following week, I made a point to watch several episodes..... nahhhhh.... not funny to me at all.... sorry... I have little patience or taste for the sitcoms on TV anyway. I find little value in the forced attempt at humor in most of them so I don't waste my time watching them.

I LOVE BBT!! My friends and I from high school days empathize with each character so well!
I wasn't even aware of that page at the end, I've never seen it because I always record it and never worry with the credits. Funny stuff, bit!
