"Looking at this picture makes me wonder, after my wife cashes in her Power Ball winnings, if it would be wise to inquire about making a down payment on a small show......what could go wrong?

Be sure & let us all know how she

responds to that great idea after

you've had time to recover

Famous last words of many now-forgotten coming Barnums.

I think you said tomorrow is the

scheduled delivery of the array

of those newfangled telewidgeons

I think the yellow cable into

the green slot or is it the blue

into the yellow or is it.......

Just sit back & relax & wait for

"The Shaz" to get home

It was explained to me that two sets will be delivered here to replace the ones in our living room and bed room. Shannon gets the third one.
I have also been told who receives these old sets but at this moment it escapes me.
Too much excitement for old people.

Reminds me of the old 50's Clown Fire House Gag where they are leaping from a burning house when a clown in drag reconsiders, runs back inside then returns with the TV set, tosses it first then follows.

A rehash of the Nuns & Cannibals

getting across the river in the

little boat quiz from long ago

Was a great clown "Firemen Save

My Child" routine on the Beatty

Show in the early 60s with large

blasts of lycopodium flame aimed

at Mother Dullum's Southern end

Was no TV bit but there were 2

tiny gas powered red fire trucks

that were Dwarf driven by Shorty

Hinkle & maybe Jimmy Armstrong

Add a weatherman to the advance department of your show.

Kenny says the 2nd Dwarf driver

was Jack Landers (not Jimmy)
