  “Funny ones.” (on what jokes he tells) [25:05]
  On being the oldest in the family: “No, Dad's oldest in the family.” [26:17]
  On how he feels: “Miserable. I didn't sleep last night—because I didn't go to bed.” [26:24–26:32]

• Robin:
  Suggests a compromise: “Study how to tell jokes. Studying and telling jokes at the same time.” [28:28]
• Kong:
  “You should learn jokes because then you'll follow your father.” [28:39]

  “You tell a very nice joke.” [28:45]

And now to introduce our jurors, here's the originator of Juvenile Jury and our program moderator, Jack Barry.

[Jack Barry]

Thank you, John Scott and hello again, everyone.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Waiting to prove that children should be heard as well as seen are five average alert youngsters, their ages ranging from 5 to 10.

[Child Juror]

Reading from left to right, meet Dickie Orland, age 7. Robin Morgan, age 5. Kong Liu, age 9. Peggy Voodoo, age 10.

Charlie Hankinson, age 6.

[Jack Barry]

Thank you, children. Now let's dip into the mailbag for.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Our very first question. As you know, for every question put before the jury, the sender receives a Ben Russ, the official watch of Famous Airlines. Our first letter is from Mrs. H.J.W. of Syracuse, New York. She sent this first question and she's getting an attractive Ben Russ wristwatch. We're putting a problem before you kids. Here's what Mrs. W writes. She says when my nine year old son goes to bed, he keeps on his shoes and socks.

[Jack Barry]

He says that saves him work when he gets up in the morning. What should I do? Charlie Hankinson's first.

[Child Juror]

Well, I think that you should tell him if he keeps that up, he'll have to wash his sheets in the morning floor. Then he won't like that, so he'll have to take them off.

[Jack Barry]

All right, Charlie, thank you very much.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

That might help.

[Jack Barry]

Peggy Bruder well, maybe he wore his.

[Child Juror]

Shoes and sacks so long that he can't get Them all.

[Jack Barry]

Well, that may be the reason, but.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

I don't think so.

[Child Juror]

Kong Liu, don't let him go skiing in the morning because maybe he wants to put up his skis to go to sleep.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Yes.

[Jack Barry]

No, let's not let him go skiing.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Dicky Orland.

[Child Juror]

Well, maybe he wears his shoes during the night because it's a long hike to the bathroom.

[Jack Barry]

He must be well fortified.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Thank you, Becky. Robin Morgan.

[Child Juror]

Well, the mommy can get his shoes off at night by giving him a bath before he goes to sleep. And if he tries putting his shoes on after the bath, then don't take him out.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Thank you, Peggy.

[Jack Barry]

Murder.

[Child Juror]

But why don't you compromise and have him go to sleep wearing his socks?

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

All right. I don't know that mother would like that, but we'll suggest it. Dicky.

[Child Juror]

Orlando, what does he do when he has to have his shoes fixed?

Does he go to a blacksmith?

[Jack Barry]

Probably, if there's one in the neighborhood.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Robin.

[Child Juror]

Well, maybe the mother should tell the little boy that if he wears his shoes day and night, he'll wear them off twice as fast.

[Jack Barry]

Yes.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

All right, Kang Lu.

[Child Juror]

Well, let him go to sleep in his shoes and socks. But when he's sound asleep, take them off.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

All right, Kong. That sounds like good advice to me, Peggy Brunett.

[Child Juror]

Well, why doesn't he use a black sheep?

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Black sheep?

[Child Juror]

Yes.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

All right. Charlie, you never wear your shoes and socks, do you, when you go to bed?

[Child Juror]

No.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

What do you wear when you go to bed?

[Jack Barry]

Just my feet. And I suppose you sing I Ain't Got no Body. Well, we're very, very happy to throw.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Out the welcome map today to a brand new member of juvenile jury. Our replacement for Patsy Walker, who departed a couple of weeks ago because she had reached the age of 12. He is 9 year old Kang Lu. And Kong, we're very, very happy. We hope that you'll be with us for a long time on juvenile jury.

[Jack Barry]

To find out a little bit about.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

You, let's ask a few questions. Where do you go to school?

[Child Juror]

I go to school at P.S. 166.

[Jack Barry]

Manhattan, huh?

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

And what would you like to be when you get older?

[Child Juror]

I would like to be a businessman in the construction.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

What are you? What would you like to build?

[Child Juror]

Buildings.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

That's good. And what does your daddy do?

[Child Juror]

He works for the United Service to China, which sends help to the Chinese people and also the Chinese children.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

That's very nice.

[Jack Barry]

Now, Tom.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

What are your hobbies?

[Child Juror]

Airplanes. Boxing and eating noodles and anything.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Oh, I see.

[Jack Barry]

What, you like noodles a lot?

[Child Juror]

Sure.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Why do you like noodles so much?

[Child Juror]

Because they're long.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Oh.

[Jack Barry]

I'm fine.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

We hope you'll be with us a very long time. Incidentally, Peggy Bruder, I hear that the Lane Bryant's department store has elected you there June consultant in their Miss Polly Pigtails contest they're now conducting. Is that right?

[Child Juror]

Yes, it is.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

You're pretty well qualified. How long have you had those two beautiful pigtails?

[Child Juror]

Oh, a long time. Since I was five years old.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Oh. Huh. And are they difficult to make?

[Child Juror]

Oh, no, my mother makes them. It's easy for her.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Fine. Well, Peggy, I want to wish you and Lane Bryan Stewart my best wishes for a very successful contest.

[Jack Barry]

Thank you. You're welcome.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

All the way from Mansfield, Georgia has come this next letter sent to us by Master RW we're sending him a slick looking Venice wristwatch. Master W writes as follows. He says, I sweep the floor of my room, I make my bed, I clean the hallway, I go on errands to the store, but I can't stand washing dishes. My mother wants me to do it, but I think that boys shouldn't be seen in the kitchen. What should I do, Charlie Hankinson?

[Child Juror]

Oh, I think.

You do all those things and one day you must be tired. You might not be able to stand up doing all that work in one day.

[Jack Barry]

Uh huh. So do you think he should be in the kitchen or he shouldn't?

[Child Juror]

I. I think he should rest.

At least rest sometime.

That would be at night. That's the only time he has a chance.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Oh, all right.

[Jack Barry]

Baking burner.

[Child Juror]

Well, I don't see why he doesn't. He doesn't stay in the kitchen because there are lots of men that stay in the kitchen in the army.

[Jack Barry]

Yeah, but I don't think they liked it. Uh huh.

[Child Juror]

Why does. Because does everything.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

By golly, Ralph Edwards is going to love you, Robin Morgan.

[Child Juror]

Well, if he's able to do all that, he'd make a wonderful wife.

[Jack Barry]

Maybe so, but I think he'd hardly.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Ever be a wife. Probably make a wonderful husband too. Robin. Dickie Orland.

[Child Juror]

He's gonna.

He's getting good experience for when he gets married.

[Jack Barry]

You almost sound like you have some experience, Dickie.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

But that's hardly possible. Anyone else have any suggestions? Becky Bruner.

[Child Juror]

Well. Oh, excuse me. I forgot what I was going to say.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

All right, Kong Lu.

[Child Juror]

Times are changing and the women are going into the factory. So why shouldn't the men go into the kitchen?

[Jack Barry]

Thank you, Tom.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

You certainly have a different outlook on life, Robin Morgan.

[Child Juror]

Well, if a Little boy doesn't want to be seen washing dishes in the kitchen. Then why doesn't he wash the dishes in the bathroom?

[Jack Barry]

An interesting observation, Vicki Orland.

[Child Juror]

Well, why don't he tell his mother that he can't wash dishes because he doesn't belong to the dishwashing union. He only belongs to the sweeping and dusting union.

[Jack Barry]

All right, Peggy.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

And finally, Peggy Burder.

[Child Juror]

Well, instead of doing all those things for his own room, why didn't he do it for his mother's room and then add it to his?

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

All right, I think that all you kids are agreed. This boy certainly does enough work making the beds and sweeping the floors without having to worry about the dishes, too. But maybe when no one's around, he could help Mother once in a while. Now, here is our popular feature, Gaines Dog Guest of the Week. Each week we bring a real dog on stage to see if the juvenile jury can identify it.

[Jack Barry]

And here it comes now.

[John Scott]

This is John Scott speaking off stage. The jurors can't hear me, but Gaines dog guest today is an English cocker spaniel.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Now back to Jack Barry.

[Jack Barry]

Well, now, jurors, as you can see.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

This is a merry little dog. It's about as bright and active as he can be. And if you don't think he's smart, just look at that intelligent expression on his face. He stands about 16 inches high at the shoulder, weighs about 35 pounds, and has a silky blue roan coat that's medium length and slightly wavy. Who knows what kind of a dog this is? Charlie Hankinson, want to take a guess?

[Child Juror]

No.

[Jack Barry]

All right.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Maybe. Yes, Charlie?

[Child Juror]

I think it might be a cocker spaniel.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

All right.

[Jack Barry]

What is.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

What do you think, Robin Morgan?

[Child Juror]

Well, I think it might be a spring spaniel.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Cocker Springer. What kind do you think it is, Dickie? Orlando.

[Child Juror]

Well, I think that's a cocker, Peggy.

[Jack Barry]

Bruno?

[Child Juror]

I think it's either a cocker spaniel or maybe a field spaniel.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

And what do you think, Tom?

[Child Juror]

I think it's a cocker spaniel.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Well, boy, your kids are pretty sharp today. Game's dog Guest is a cocker spaniel and his name is Gippo. Now, Jibo isn't an American cocker. He's an English cocker standing a little higher and weighing a little more than our American cockers.

[Jack Barry]

Can anyone guess what these. What these dogs are used for? What do you think they're used for, Robin Morgan?

[Child Juror]

Well, I think they're wonderful watchdogs. They're wonderful for children. They're very Good hunting dogs. And they're also wonderful pets.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

All right. What do you think, Peggy?

[Child Juror]

Well, they are very good pets, but I think they have a very good dancing ability. And I think that they retrieve or they hunt.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Uh huh. And Charlie, what do you think that they're good for?

[Child Juror]

I think they're good for pets. And I think they're sort of good for hunting dogs.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

All right.

[Jack Barry]

Well, as a matter of fact, cockers.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Are sporting game bird dogs. And according to the American Spine Eagle Club, they're the sport of these sporting spaniels. Besides hunting, cockers can be trained to make excellent retrievers.

[Jack Barry]

And they take to the water without so much as a whimper.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Now, who can describe how these dogs hunt? How do they hunt? Yes, Robin?

[Child Juror]

Well, I think they hunt by their scent. Either their scent or their tails.

[Jack Barry]

So they go heads or tails.

[Child Juror]

But you know what I mean by the tail, sir. I think they hunt by the tails. Because whenever they see the bird, they'll give a wag of the tail which will notice the hunter that the bird is somewhere around and he'll start shooting.

[Jack Barry]

Well, as a matter of fact, Robin, I have another tale for you.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Here's how cockers actually work. They run ahead of the hunter at a fast, snappy pace, looking for game bird. Then when they find one, they flush it, which means they frighten it into flying. Then they drop to the ground quickly and remain quiet until the hunter has aimed his gun. Finally, they retrieve the game when his command is given. Incidentally, no one told us how these dogs got their names.

[John Scott]

How did they.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

How did they get their name?

[Child Juror]

Robin, what kind of bird did you say they hunted?

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

A woodcock.

[Jack Barry]

That finishes the question.

[Child Juror]

I thought that maybe it was a cocker.

The bird of the cocker.

So that's how they got their name.

[Jack Barry]

Anybody want to take a guess at how they get their name, Peggy?

[Child Juror]

Well, maybe cocker means something in English. Or I mean, in another language, like a retrieve.

[Jack Barry]

You don't know how true you are. Anyway, kids, not over in England. But. As a matter of fact, over in.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

England, there is another name for it.

[Jack Barry]

You see, these dogs came from England.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

They used to hunt a small game bird called the woodcock. So you see, you were right. That's why they're called cockers.

[John Scott]

Which reminds me, Jack, do you know how they. Jack, do you know how to call?

[Jack Barry]

Right in the strip there.

[John Scott]

You never get it from me. Say, Jack, you know how to call a cocker or any other dog for that matter?

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

No, I don't have, Scotty.

[John Scott]

Well, first, like this here, boy. Come here, boy.

[Jack Barry]

That's great.

[John Scott]

Well, if that doesn't work, all you have to do is just say, come on, boy, it's time for game.

[Jack Barry]

Fine technique.

[John Scott]

Yes, you can bet it never fails. Jack, you can go right back on now, Gainesley, you see, I was just explaining something to Jack.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

All right.

[John Scott]

You know, Jack, big dogs, little dogs, tall dogs, come a running for games. They love it. Yes, and it's a good thing too, because Game's complete meal nourishes every inch of them. It contains everything they're known to need. Fats, carbohydrates, protein, plus all the essential vitamins and minerals and more than required amounts. Yes, Game supplies many things meat alone cannot provide. Yet it's so economical to feed. It's amazing. Some types of dog foods, say canned dog foods may contain up to 70% moisture because they're cooked in the can. But Gaines is dry food over 90% concentrated food. You add the liquid yourself at no extra cost. Now, what's the sense in paying for moisture? Well, there isn't any. So buy nourishment, Buy gain. Tomorrow, buy Gaines complete meal at your grocery or pet supply store. Then call your dog like this. Here, boy. Come on, come on.

[Jack Barry]

It's time for games.

[John Scott]

And then he'll speak.

[Child Juror]

Speak for days.

[John Scott]

It's America's largest selling dog.

[Jack Barry]

Thanks, Scotty. And thanks to our games dog guest of the week. Take a bow, Jiffo. Now, as a regular feature of Juvenile Jury, we invite our younger listeners to present their problems in person. This week we have with us 4.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Year old Abby Faden of New York. Now, Abby, you step right up to.

[Jack Barry]

That mic and tell the people what your problem is.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

What's your problem, Abby? What's your problem, dear?

[Child Juror]

When I was a little baby, I didn't know.

And that's why I used to say thank you on my aunt snow bus. And he'll say thank you so much. So what should I do for the joys that helped me?

[Jack Barry]

Let me see. I think I got a problem. Now, if I'm not mistaken, when you were little, you used to say thank you instead of thank you.

[Child Juror]

Yes, and now I say thank you.

[Jack Barry]

Oh, it's changed a lot. Now you say thank you and. And your aunts tease you about it.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

And you want to know what to do. Okay. Well, kids, you have some questions.

[Child Juror]

Peggy Verder, why did I tease you? Because they think it's you.

[Jack Barry]

Your aunts think it's cute to tease you.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

All right, Robin.

[Child Juror]

Well, why do you mind them teasing you? Because you know they love you. But I don't want everybody to think I'm a baby.

How old are you?

How old are you?

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Four, Dickie Orland.

[Child Juror]

Well, how old were you when you said thanks instead of thanks?

I mean, thanks instead of.

How old were you when you said you said what you did?

[Jack Barry]

How old were you when you first said that, Abby?

[Child Juror]

Two. Two. Well, why don't you tell your relatives that you were young then and you can't be responsible for what you did then.

[Jack Barry]

All right. Thank you, Vicki Robin Morgan, do you.

[Child Juror]

Consider yourself a grown up now?

[Jack Barry]

Yes. What did you say?

[Child Juror]

Yes.

[Jack Barry]

Yes, you're a grown up now.

[Child Juror]

You know, I wonder what you're going.

[Jack Barry]

To think when you're six. Yes.

[Child Juror]

Khan, do you go to your dentist two times a year?

[Jack Barry]

Why do you ask that, Khan?

[Child Juror]

Because maybe her tooth has a wrong position and then she says thank you instead of thank.

[Jack Barry]

Oh, I see. All right. Abby, does your tooth have a wrong position? No.

[Child Juror]

No.

[Jack Barry]

No. All right, kids, let's take a run.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Down here and see what you should do about this.

[Jack Barry]

Her aunt teases her because she says thank you.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

What do you think about it, Vicki?

[Child Juror]

Well, it really doesn't make any difference how you say it. It's what you mean that really counts.

[Jack Barry]

You're so right, Dickie. That's swell. Robin, what do you think?

[Child Juror]

Well, why don't you explain to your relatives and when you said thank you, you were young and you weren't responsible.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

All right.

[Child Juror]

But now things have changed with you.

And they should treat you differently.

[Jack Barry]

Yes. All right, Tom Wu.

[Child Juror]

Why, thank you on a note then, though they won't tease you.

[Jack Barry]

Okay, Peggy Birder.

[Child Juror]

But before I give my answer, I.

Want to ask you a question.

Did you have teeth when you were.

Yes or no? Yes.

[Jack Barry]

Yes. Is there a doctor in the house? I doubt that she had them when she was born. Peggy.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Why do you ask?

[Child Juror]

Well, maybe that's the answer.

[Jack Barry]

That she had teeth when she was born.

[Child Juror]

She didn't have teeth when she was born.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Oh, I see. That might be Charlie Hankinson.

[Child Juror]

Well, I would.

Maybe.

I used to say that because once I used to say my daddy was teaching me about. I don't care. I used to say goo goo.

[Jack Barry]

Baby. And he teased you about it. Yeah. And when he said goo goo to you, what'd you say to him?

[Child Juror]

Oh, that was when I was 2 years old.

[Jack Barry]

And he said goo goo. And he teased you. Yeah.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

How do you like it?

[Child Juror]

But it didn't tease me so much.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

No? Well, goo goo to you, Charlie.

[Jack Barry]

As far as you're concerned, I think the best thing for you to do is to start this.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Disregard it, forget about it. If your aunts see that teasing doesn't bother you, they'll soon stop teasing you entirely.

[Jack Barry]

Thank you very much and thank you for being with us, Abby.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Say.

[Jack Barry]

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Here's our next question, kids. From Mrs. A.D. of Colorado Springs, you'll receive a beautiful Benares watching. Here's what she writes. She says, my eight and a half year old daughter insists that I lower the hems of all her skirts because she says that all ladies now have long skirts.

[Jack Barry]

Now, I don't like to do it.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Because she's so young and besides, I'd hate ruining her clothes. What do you suggest? This is a real timely question, Charlie Hankinson.

[Child Juror]

I think she should wait till she gets old. Do that because I never saw anybody around here with long skirts.

[Jack Barry]

All right, Charlie. Peggy Bruder.

[Child Juror]

Well, why doesn't she keep her skirts.

Short but walk around on her knees and then the people won't tell the difference.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Okay, Kang Lu.

[Child Juror]

Well, tell her that when she gets married, she won't be able to buy so many long skirts because then her husband will get bankrupt.

[Jack Barry]

You mean you necessarily. When you get married, your husband has to get bankrupt?

[Child Juror]

Well, if you want to buy lots.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Of things, I'm going to stay single.

[Jack Barry]

Robin Morgan.

[Child Juror]

Well, why didn't a mother tell the little girl that in the summertime she should wear short skirts, but in the wintertime, girls should let their dresses down because boys let their pants down.

[Jack Barry]

Next. You're Dicky, Charlie.

[Child Juror]

Well, why don't the mother buy her one real long petticoat and let her wear that under all of her dresses?

[Jack Barry]

All right, Dick gets me too. Dickie, I can't resist asking you this question. In the wintertime, do you let your pants down like Robin said?

[Child Juror]

Yes.

[John Scott]

That'S right.

[Jack Barry]

He wears short pants in the wintertime and in the summertime. In the wintertime, his mother lengthens them.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

And they get real far down.

[Jack Barry]

Yes, truly, I can see.

[Child Juror]

Well, I think that you should buy a dress for her to long for and then let her wear. And then children will laugh at her all the time. Then she won't like that. And then she'll be glad she has them just right to fit her.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

All right.

[Jack Barry]

Thank you, Charlie. Okay, kids, we want to tackle.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

That's all. Good suggestions. I think she's a little too young to do that to wear those long skirts. And so I think that she should.

[Jack Barry]

Wait until she gets just a little bit older. Now, our jurors will be back in just a moment with more questions and answers.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Now here's John, Scott and Gaines talking dog.

[John Scott]

What's that, Gainesey? Happy Thanksgiving. Thanks a lot, fella. You're a little I, folks. But every dog could give thanks every day if his master fed him Gaines complete meal. Right, Bella? And here's why. First, Gaines is a nutritionally balanced complete meal. Yes, a meal that nourishes every inch of a dog. And second, Gaines is economical. Yes, boy, gaines is economical. 15 pound package of gains. Mind you, just one 5 pound package provides nourishment equal to 151 pound cans of canned dog food. And the cost, that's my punchline. The gains cost only about 1/2 as much. So you see, Gainsey, it's just good plain common sense, too. By nourishment. By gains. Yes, boy, and I hope every dog owner in America heard you say that. Because if they did, they'll all start discovering for themselves that it's wise to let their dogs speak.

[Jack Barry]

Speak for gain.

[John Scott]

It's America's largest selling dog food.

[Jack Barry]

Thank you, John, Scott and Gainsey. Now, here's our second in person guest. He's four year old. Four year old Gregory Amsterdam of Manhattan, New York. Now, Gregory, Gregory, suppose you tell your.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Problem to the jury. What's your problem, Gregory?

[Child Juror]

My daddy won't Let me.

[Jack Barry]

You want to tell jokes, but your daddy won't let you? Yes, sir, I see. What. What kind of jokes do you tell?

[Child Juror]

Funny ones.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Funny jokes.

[Jack Barry]

Well, Alan, why doesn't your daddy want.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

You to tell jokes?

[Child Juror]

Wants me to learn my ABCs first.

[Jack Barry]

Want you to learn your ABCs first. Have you learned them?

[Child Juror]

Yes, I know them already.

[Jack Barry]

Uh huh. Well, what's the matter with that? You learn your ABCs.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

I guess that he's pretty happy about that. Well, Gregory, you know, I know your daddy. Your daddy is Maury Amsterdam, the famous.

[Jack Barry]

Comedian, star of the Stop me if you've heard this one show. He operates the Playgoers Cafe here in New York.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

This no reason why he shouldn't. Why he should refuse to let you tell jokes.

[Jack Barry]

Now, let's. Let's see, Greg, how about you and me going through some of those routines.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

That your daddy and you do and.

[Jack Barry]

Just let the kids decide whether or not you should tell jokes, okay?

[Child Juror]

All right.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

All right.

[Jack Barry]

Now what. What's your name?

[Child Juror]

Gregory. H. Gregory.

[Jack Barry]

Gregory H. Gregory?

[Child Juror]

Yes.

[Jack Barry]

What's the H for the bag?

[Child Juror]

The monot.

[Jack Barry]

That's a good idea. How old are you? Four.

[John Scott]

Four?

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

What do you expect to be?

[VRBO Announcer]

Five.

[Jack Barry]

Five. Well, I have no doubt that you will be. Greg, are you the oldest in the family?

[Child Juror]

No, Dad's oldest in the family.

[Jack Barry]

You know, you look pretty good today. But how do you feel, Gregory?

[Child Juror]

Miserable.

[Jack Barry]

Feel miserable. What seems to be the trouble?

[Child Juror]

I didn't feel.

[Jack Barry]

Didn't sleep last night. Why not?

[Child Juror]

Because I didn't go to bed.

[Jack Barry]

You know, Gregory, I've seen you play a game with your daddy and we'll see if we can play it here this afternoon.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Now, I have a nickel and a quarter here in my hand. Which one will you take?

[Child Juror]

The nickel.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

The nickel?

[Jack Barry]

Well, the quarter is more. Why don't you take that?

[Child Juror]

Take a quarter.

I won't play the games anymore.

[Jack Barry]

Oh, you won't play the game.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

I won't play the games anymore.

[Jack Barry]

You're so right. Mm. I want to find out something about your home life, Gregory. Do you live in a nice place?

[Child Juror]

It's very beautiful.

Do you know where Central park south is?

[Jack Barry]

Central Park South?

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Oh, that's a wonderful neighborhood.

[Child Juror]

Yeah, well, we live on the Lancy Street.

[Jack Barry]

Well, that's very nice, too, in some spots. Tell me, Greg, what kind of an apartment do you have?

[Child Juror]

It has a sunken living room.

[Jack Barry]

A sunken living room? Sunken living room.

[Child Juror]

Yes, sir.

[Jack Barry]

What's that?

[Child Juror]

It's Morgan.

Come down to the basement.

[Jack Barry]

Well, Gregory, you've given me a Fair sample of your gags. Let's see if the kids in the jury have some questions for you.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Kids.

[Jack Barry]

Robin Morgan, how do you know they're jokes? Oh, their jokes are right. You hear, they heard people laughing. They're laughing a lot.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

And they like those jokes.

[Jack Barry]

Peggy.

[Child Juror]

Well, why do you want to tell the joke?

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Why do you want to tell the jokes, Greg?

[Child Juror]

I want to be like my dad.

[Jack Barry]

Oh, I don't blame him. He's certainly a fine committee. Let's.

[Child Juror]

Dicky Owen, where would we be if Red Scoutenspotter didn't let him tell jokes?

[Jack Barry]

He. Right, let's take a quick run down here. You've heard the sample of Gregory Amsterdam's jokes.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Now let's see whether or not you think you should go on telling them.

[Jack Barry]

Dicky, do you think so?

[Child Juror]

Well, I think that you should tell your father to listen to your jokes because if he won't listen, who will?

[Jack Barry]

All right. Robin, do you think you should tell jokes or not?

[Child Juror]

You want to tell jokes and your father wants you to study, right?

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Right.

[Child Juror]

Well, then, so why don't you all.

Compromise that you'll study how to tell jokes. Studying and telling jokes at the same time.

[Jack Barry]

That is an excellent suggestion, Kung Lu.

[Child Juror]

Well, I think you should learn jokes because then you'll follow your father.

[Narrator/Moderator Assistant]

Fine.

[Jack Barry]

Peggy Bruder.

[Child Juror]

Well, you tell a very nice joke.

And I think that you should.

[Jack Barry]

Charlie Hankinson.

[Child Juror]

Well, I think if your daddy doesn't want you to, you should tell jokes one day and then don't the next.

[Jack Barry]

All right, but Gregory, certainly do not give it up. I'm going to have a talk with your daddy right after the show. And after that, we'll see if you can't continue telling jokes. Thank you for being with us, Gregory Amsterdam. Now here's John Stott with a very important announcement.
