From what I recall, the category was 'Things Confucius Says'. And
Billy Crystal was struggling with creating clues for her. So he
started to say things like 'Man who speak with forked tongue should not
kiss balloon'. That's not actually what he said, but he tried to say
things that sounded 'Confucius-like'. I'm don't recall what else he
tried, but I remember her looking so frustrated and then so happy when
she thought she had it. I'll never know where she pulled 'Kamikaze
Pilot' from. Maybe because Crystal may have used some Asian inflection
in his tone to help with the clue and that's all she could think of at
the time.
