different versions

I saw this movie soon after it was released and then again many years later and was left wondering if I had remembered it wrong or if it had had sections reedited. Example: I thought the last line in the Italian section was something to the effect, "Not tonight honey, we're going to the Vatican tomorrow." And: That the end of the "Killer Boob" section was much more succinct with "They always travel in pairs," rather than the more drawn out (and less funny) way it winds down now. Does anyone know if there are different versions to this movie and, if so, why?

That's strange--every version I've seen of this does have the line "they always travel in pairs" but not the Vatican line. Maybe there are different versions.

It was shown to preview audiences with the segments in a different order (the ejaculation episode was first). This was changed because critic Pauline Kael told Woody that the ejaculation episode was the funniest one and should be saved for later. But I've never heard of any other editing or alternate versions of the skits.
