So a laugh. I picked up a cd set of Bob Hope's old radio show from the '40s. Good stuff. I love the way he works in some mild political zingers. A couple of lines from his show with Penny Singleton and Arthur Lake, from the movie Blondie:
Bob: "So you work well together?"
Penny: "Oh yes. The only thing we disagree on is politics"
Bob: "So you're both Democrats"
---
Bob: "Where's Baby Dumpling?"
Penny: "He's home doing his income tax"
Bob: "Oh, he's a Republican"
Amazingly enough, Hope had a fair amount of vaguely risque material on his show. After a line about some good looking Hollywood babe (can't remember which, too many mentioned in the show) walking past some wax mannequins: "Look, candles!"
Love you, Bob.
Iz out!
