Introduction: The Enduring Charm of Boys and Dogs

In this engaging episode of "People Are Funny," Harold delves into the timeless bond between boys and dogs—a relationship often viewed as endearing despite individual reputations. The premise sets the stage for a series of heartwarming and humorous experiments to test people's willingness to embrace this classic duo.

Segment 1: Reese Ehrlich's Quest for a Canine Companion

[00:34]
Harold introduces Reese Ehrlich, an adorable eight-year-old boy without a dog of his own. "People are funny about boys and dogs, either one apart," Harold muses, emphasizing the societal view that a pair is inherently cute. To explore this, Reese is tasked with bringing a dog—specifically a much larger St. Bernard pretending to be a puppy—to various households, requesting they care for it overnight.

[01:19] – [03:17]
Harold coaches Reese on his approach, encouraging him to exhibit genuine emotion to elicit sympathy. Reese practices his plea: "Please, mister, may I have a puppy?" Initially rejected, the strategy evolves as he introduces the true size of the dog, hoping to overcome initial resistance. Harold explains the plan: if the homeowners agree to keep the dog overnight despite its imposing presence, they win a prize.

Segment 2: The Truth-Seeking Character Test with Mrs. Rose Wright

[06:41] – [15:55]
Transforming the stage into a mock police lineup, Harold invites Mrs. Rose Wright, a self-proclaimed expert in character judgment, to identify a liar among three contestants:

1. Lyle Reedy – An inventor showcasing a peculiar gadget called the "yard off," designed for garden maintenance.
2. Mr. Littlefield – A beekeeper recounting a perilous incident involving lost bees and a near-fatal sting experience.
3. Miss Beverly Putnam – A flamboyant big game hunter with tales of African safaris and tiger hunts.

Mrs. Wright confidently accuses Miss Putnam of lying. However, upon investigation, it's revealed that Miss Putnam was telling the truth about her adventurous career. Mrs. Wright fails to identify the actual liar, Lyle Reedy, who admits to fabricating his inventions. Despite her misjudgment, Mrs. Wright is awarded a Mohawk carpet for her participation.

Segment 3: The High-Stakes Shell Game with Mrs. Margaret Durham

[17:25] – [20:35]
Harold introduces a thrilling shell game where Mrs. Margaret Durham from Indianapolis participates in a high-stakes version involving identical cans containing either a prized 1955 Nash Rambler automobile model or live worms. Despite sensing the presence of worms, Mrs. Durham opts to select the automobile, only to uncover her unexpected loss. Her gamble results in winning a Westinghouse roaster oven as a consolation prize.

Segment 4: The Heartwarming Conclusion – Reese Finds a Home for His Dog

[21:36] – [25:47]
The episode culminates with Reese returning with the St. Bernard. Mrs. Betty Danko, a kind-hearted single lady from the neighborhood, steps in to care for the dog. Despite initial chaos caused by the dog's size and Reese's previous rejections, Mrs. Danko honors her commitment, proving the episode's central theme: the irresistible charm of a boy and his dog can indeed soften even the most reluctant hearts. As a reward for her generosity, Mrs. Danko receives a tappan gas range, while Reese is gifted a Stromberg Carlson television set. Additionally, the dog, humorously referred to as a "rhinoceros bone," completes the heartfelt conclusion.

Notable Quotes

• Harold on Boys and Dogs:
  "You know, people are funny about boys and dogs, either one apart. Well, a boy might be a rascal and a dog might be a nuisance, but you put a boy and a dog together and people say, aren't they cute?"
  [00:34]

• Reese Ehrlich Practicing:
  "May I let. Would you heat this for me? My mother won't let me keep it, but my father's going to be in home in the morning and I think he'll let me keep it."
  [02:37]

• Mrs. Rose Wright on Judgment:
  "I don't like them."
  [07:04]

• Harold on the Character Test:
  "Sometimes I don't know which one it is. I've lost track. I can't tell."
  [19:26]

• Mrs. Danko Reflecting on Reese:
  "I thought he belonged in the neighborhood. I asked him where he lived. I thought, well, if he's, you know, a new neighbor or something like that, I should be very neighborly."
  [23:58]

Conclusion: Celebrating Kindness and Humor

Harold wraps up the episode by highlighting the evening's successes and humorous missteps. Through Reese's genuine affection and Mrs. Danko's altruism, the episode underscores the profound impact of kindness. Additionally, the playful interactions and unexpected twists serve as a testament to the show's enduring charm, proving once again that "people are funny" in the most endearing ways.

So tonight we're going to test out scientifically this fatal attraction that people seem to have for boys and dogs and see how far it goes. Now, I'm holding in my arms a cute little French poodle, and now I'd like to have you meet a cute little boy. So come out, young man, and I'll find out who you are. What is your name?

[B]

Reese Ehrlich.

[A]

How old are you, Reese?

[B]

Almost eight.

[A]

Now, Reese, do you have a dog of your own?

[B]

No.

[A]

Would you like one?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Well, what do your mother and daddy say about it?

[B]

They say we don't have room to keep one.

[A]

Oh, gee, isn't that tough when a boy doesn't have a dog? You've asked them about a dog, haven't you?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

What kind of a dog would you like to have?

[B]

A collie.

[A]

Yeah. Well, now, this a cutie one right here, isn't it?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Now, Reese, we asked you down here tonight because we're going to send you out into Hollywood, and Mr. Irvin Atkins is going to drive you out into a neighborhood where regular houses are, and you pick out any house that looks interesting. Then you go up to the house, knock on the door, and when somebody comes to the door, you tell them this story. Now, listen, you tell them that somebody gave you a puppy and your mother won't let you keep it, but your daddy's going to be home in the morning, and you think he'll let you keep it. And ask them if they'll keep the puppy overnight just for you so you can pick it up in the morning. Okay, let me hear how you're going to say that. Let's say I'm at the door. What are you going to say?

[B]

Please, mister, may I have a puppy?

[A]

No, no, no, no, no, you don't want a puppy. You. You have a puppy. Now, start again, Please.

[B]

May I let. Would you heat the this for me? My mother won't let me keep it, but my father's Going to be in home in the morning and I think he'll let me keep it.

[A]

Now, can you get a little tear in your eyes when you say that?

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

Try to squeeze. Look real miserable, will you? Now, remember, you've got to let them take care of the puppy overnight. You got. You got that? All right. Now, of course, you want to leave the puppy out in the car. You won't have the puppy with you at the time. And then after, if they say they will keep it, you know, if they don't, then you go to another house. But if they say that they will and you plead with them, you run out and get the puppy.

[B]

Okay?

[A]

All right. Well, now, see this puppy here? This is an awful cute one. This isn't the puppy. Would you take this dog away, please? I had another one in mind for you. Reese.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Would you bring out the little puppy, please? Now, this little cute puppy, which happens to be a St. Bernard, weighing about 135 pounds, you want to take him. Don't let him run away with you. Now you get around here, please. There you are. Now you. You take. You see, this will be out in the car and you run out and get him and take him up and then see if the people still want keep him overnight for you, okay? And you can tell him he only eats 22 pounds of. 22 pounds of hamburger at a sitting.

[B]

Okay?

[A]

Now do the best you can and see if you can get somebody. Beg them to take your puppy.

[B]

Okay, but what's the trick to it?

[A]

That's very interesting. The trick is that you're going to say it's a little puppy and it's in the car. And when you come back with this, you watch their expression. You got that? All right, now don't let me down. All right, on your way. Say goodbye to him, audience. What's the trick? Well, I think we'll have some fun tonight with a boy and a dog. And maybe some people are going to change their minds very abruptly as to whether or not they're going to keep the dog overnight. But if he finds someone who will agree to keep the puppy even after they see him, we're going to bring that family back and you're going to meet them and they're going to get a big, beautiful tap and gas range just for their own home. So let's see what happens at the end of the show. We'll be back with Art and more of People Are Funny in just a moment. Will you three people kindly step out here? You sir, step up here. Everybody face the front. You, sir, here. You, lady, right over here. One of you is accused of being a liar. Mr. Linkletter, take over, please. Ladies and gentlemen, we have here on the stage. Something resembling a police lineup. And just as the police occasionally do. When they have a suspect to be identified by a witness. They mix in, along with the suspect. Several completely innocent people. And so tonight, among these three people, we have one perjurer. Who will do nothing but lie about himself and what he does. The other two will tell the truth. Now, don't forget, this is people are funny. What you think might be so might turn out to be just the opposite. And we're going to test this judgment of character and truth out on a lady who said that her specialty is judging character on first sight. Would you come out, please, Mrs. Rose Wright. And stand right over here with me. How do you do tonight?

[B]

How do you do, Mr. Linklater?

[A]

Could you tell us how old you are, Mrs. Wright?

[B]

I'm 67.

[A]

And in your long lifetime. You've had plenty of opportunity to judge people?

[B]

Yes, that's right.

[A]

How do you go about it? What is your feeling about your ability to judge people?

[B]

I don't know. I think it's their actions. Mostly their eyes.

[A]

You look in their eyes, mostly their eyes. And you can tell when you first meet a person if they're shifty.

[B]

I don't like them.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

No.

[A]

And if they look you right in the eye. You believe everything they say. I have a lot I want to sell you after the show. Mrs. Wright, where are you from? Originally?

[B]

British Columbia.

[A]

You are now a Canadian? Yes. What are you doing in Southern California?

[B]

I'm just here for the winter, for sunshine.

[A]

Good. We have plenty of it for you. Now, Mrs. Wright, these three people here. Are characters we have assembled especially for this stunt. And one of them is going to lie to you completely from beginning to end. And we're going to see if you can guess him on the very first try. And if you can, we're going to give you a 500Amana freezer for your home. Our first guest. Would you step down here, please, sir? Your name is? Lyle Reedy. Mr. Reedy, what are you representing here tonight and what do you do? I'm an inventor. Have you been inventing things for very long? Quite some time, sir. What things have you invented? Rubber, brake, shoes. From bicycles, mostly aircraft. And you've had patents taken out on these? Yes, I have. I have them pretty good in the living off of it. Now, what have you got in Your hand. This odd looking bar. This is a little thing I made up that's called a yard all. A yard all? A yard all. How does it work? Well, we take it like this for scraping the weeds off. What kind is on up there? Garden hose. Huh. And then what do you do? Well, we get down here like this and we instead of bending down like we used to have to do with the garden hose, we wash them off of this. In other words, it has a spray on that end and that sprays the leaves it off and the weeds and things like that. What's this up here? Well, that's the light for at night. When? Lots of times when I come home, I want to go out at night. What's this? These gadgets down here. Now this I use for tire tying up bushes as I go along. This for trimming rose bushes occasionally. And you invented this perhaps because you're just for home use? Yes, sir. You call it a yard off. Yard off. That is an unusual and interesting looking invention. Isn't?

[B]

Certainly is to me.

[A]

Now look in his eyes. All right, you step back up there. There's an inventor. Our next guest is coming down now into the spotlight and he is carrying a. A box behind which are what? Honeybees. How many? 3,000. 3,000 honeybees. What do you do? I keep bees for a living. That's an interesting and unusual occupation. And is there a queen bee in there? Yes, sir. How can you tell which one's the queen bee? Well, she'd be pretty hard to find, but she's longer and more symmetrical than a ordinary worker bee. There's only one queen bee in a hive like this? Yes, sir. Now, what do the bees do? How do you make a living with the bees? With the honey or other ways? With honey and taking bees for pollination. What do you mean pollination? Carry bees to hatch fish, to pollinate alfalfa seeds. In other words, your bees go around and settle on alfalfa. Yes. What good does that do? That trips the flower and the seed his fertile limb did you don't look at the bees, look at him. Mrs. Wright, the bees don't tell any lies. They're all just little honeys working there. Has anything unusual ever happened to you in this line of business, Mr. Littlefield? Littlefield? Yes, sir. When I first started in the business, we were moving a load of bees though to Soledad Canyon one night and her back row broke. And I dropped 15 colonies off in the middle of the highway and right on the edge of the railroad track. What'd you have to do. Well, we had to get the bees off before freight train come by. And before any automobiles come by. Did you get them all back in? Got them off in the nick of time. How many stings did you. They sting you? My partner and I got 300 stings apiece. Isn't that enough to almost kill you? Well, it. I'm still here, but it sure set my arthritis back a long way. There you are. Now, did you hear that story? Very interesting. Now, would you bring our next guest down, please? This is a young lady carrying a very fancy gun. And your name is?

[B]

Beverly Putnam.

[A]

And what kind of a gun is that?

[B]

That's the 300 Weatherby Magnum.

[A]

And what do you use it for?

[B]

I use it to hunt big game in Africa.

[A]

Is that your business?

[B]

Yes, it is.

[A]

What is your business exactly?

[B]

I lead African safaris and Indian she cars.

[A]

What are Indian sheikahs?

[B]

That's a tiger hunt.

[A]

You organize people to go out hunting big game?

[B]

I do.

[A]

How did you happen to get into such an unusual business for a pretty and young girl?

[B]

I went to the movies a couple years ago in Sambo. And I decided that I should go on a big game hunt in Africa. So I gathered 13 women together. And last year we went big game hunting.

[A]

Now, before that, what did you do?

[B]

I was a hula dancer.

[A]

You were a hula dancer and you went to the movies and saw Clark Gable and Mogambo. And the next month you were in Africa leading a safari? Yes. Were you ever in danger? Did you ever have any exciting experience?

[B]

Yes, I had a real exciting day when I was hunting buffalo. We had spotted a herd about 200 yards from us. They were going from the lakeshore into the bush. And we tracked them for about a half hour and no buffalo. And suddenly I heard a rustle and turned to the left and there was a buffalo headed towards me. It was about 20 yards away.

[A]

Because those buffalo will attack hunters.

[B]

Yes, they're a real menace. And with my 300 Weatherby Magnum, I drew a bead on him. And here's his right foot.

[A]

Here's his right foot. That is the right foot of a Cape buffalo.

[B]

The African Cape buffalo.

[A]

African Cape buffalo. Well, that is the most unusual and interesting job. Thank you very much. Now, Mrs. Rose Wright, Canadian character judge and witness. Par. Excellent for a $500Amana freezer. Which one is the liar? And I can see all the people out in the audience going, I give you one guess. Now, do you have any idea which one looks like the. Now, remember, you're on. People are funny.

[B]

I don't think that gal's telling the truth.

[A]

What?

[B]

I don't think that gal is telling the truth.

[A]

All right, let's bring her down and see if you've won the prize. A girl who went to Mogambo and became a big game hunter. Miss Beverly Putman Putnam. Putnam.

[B]

Yes, they are.

[A]

Now, first of all, what sort of.

[B]

A sight you have on that Right. That's a four power scope.

[A]

You can't ask any more questions. You've done your judging. You have looked into her eyes and found them shifting.

[B]

What country in South Africa did you say you were in? East Africa? Yes.

[A]

Miss Putnam, are you lying or are you telling the truth?

[B]

I'm telling the truth.

[A]

She is telling the truth, and not only the truth. Isn't this a remarkable story? It sounds like something we'd make up, wouldn't it? Right out of whole cloth. And as a matter of fact, you're planning some more hunting trips, aren't you, Bev?

[B]

Yes, I'm rounding up another group to go to Africa in June. And in September I hope to take men and women to Africa. And in December, we'll go tiger hunting in India.

[A]

Gee, I'd love to be able to go with you. Even if we didn't find any tigers, I'm sure we'd have a grand time. Thank you. Didn't think we had buffalo. Oh, yes. They have buffalo Now. You have lost the Amana freezer. But I am going to give you another try. And this time for a big, beautiful Mohawk carpet worth several hundred dollars. If you can tell me which one of these two men is lying. The beekeeper with his story about losing the bees, or the inventor with that fantastic gadget he's got in his hand.

[B]

Which is lying.

[A]

Which one is lying? That's your job.

[B]

Well, I think this man here with the fantastic gadget, as you call it, come on down.

[A]

She thinks you're lying. Well, she's right. I never saw this thing before until about an hour ago. Yes, sir. Lyle Reedy is no more of an inventor than I am. Are you? No. I'll say no. This silly old thing. Well, what a thing. What a thing. So, you see, you have won a beautiful Mohawk carpet on your second time out. And that is plus the foam set cushion for longer life from the looms of Mohawk. And if. And if. And. And, Mr. Mr. Littlefield, you are actually a beekeeper. A beekeeper. And anybody who wants a bee in your bonnet, send in to Mr. Littlefield. Thank you very much.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

And we are glad you proved that. People are funn stiff right up the hand is quicker than the eye. Last week, Lady Luck did not smile on the young lady. But maybe this week. Howdy, Mr. Linklater. Thank you, Pat. You can take your shell game and go now. Actually, what Pat McGeehan said is absolutely true. Americans are funny about the desire to take a chance. Everybody likes to take a little bet, especially if it doesn't cost them anything. And a shell game is one of our oldest, most characteristic games of chance at carnivals, circuses and parties we have devised here. And people are funny. Our own type of shell game. It's three cylinders all painted with little dots which are practically the same. The tops of these three cylinder cocains are covered by a rubber which has been sliced in two places so that you can put your hand down in it, but you can't see down in it. Last week, a lady contestant had her choice of which one of these cans to reach into to get a $2,500 Lucien Picard wristwatch. Instead, she got into the can where there was an electrically charged battery. She got a real charge out of this show. Tonight we're going to continue our fun. So bring in our guests from Indianapolis. The lady picked out of the audience just before we went on the air. Hello.

[B]

Hello.

[A]

Your Mrs. Mrs. Margaret Durham from Indianapolis.

[B]

From Indianapolis.

[A]

What does Mr. Durham do?

[B]

He's the county commissioner.

[A]

County Commissioner. Well, it will be all right for him to let you play our show game with us?

[B]

Oh, I think so.

[A]

Any children, Mrs. Durham?

[B]

No.

[A]

Do you like to go to. To. To places where they have wheels of fortune?

[B]

Oh, yes.

[A]

And do a little bingo playing? Now, man. Now here's the way we play our game of bingo. We have here a revolving table and these three cans, each one of which is marked identically. You got that?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Now, Mr. McGeehan, may I have the first item, please? I am holding in my hands a little automobile model. And this automobile model represents a 1955 Nash Rambler automobile. That gives you 30 miles to the gallon of gas. And if you pick this out of the buckets, you get a 1955 Nash car for your very own self. Now, look what's coming next, Pat, quickly. Here is a can of live worms. See that? I'm going to put that in and up end it. And there it is. All the worms are in there. Mr. McGeehan, please. The next item she says. A little white mice. And I put mouse. That's a rat, she says. I put him down in there. Now, there is the car the mouse, the worms. And around it goes. Around it goes. Now you turn around. Quickly. All right, Mrs. Durham, reach down. And what are you going to get?

[B]

I think the worms.

[A]

Well, which one are you going to pick?

[B]

This one.

[A]

You're going to pick this one. You think that's the one with the. The new Nash automobile?

[B]

I'm not sure.

[A]

But do you have woman intuition? Well, sometimes I don't know which one it is. I've lost track. I can't tell.

[B]

I feel like it's going to be worms tonight.

[A]

This is going to be worms. How do you like your worms? On brochette or underglass? All right. Might be the rat.

[B]

Well, I'm not. Can I go ahead?

[A]

Yeah, go right ahead and see what you got.

[B]

Oh, it's the worms.

[A]

I know. I'm tired. I just noticed. Knew it, she said. Well why did you do it if you knew it?

[B]

I don't know. I kept thinking you'd.

[A]

No. You knew those were the worms, didn't you?

[B]

I felt it.

[A]

Well then why didn't you reach situation?

[B]

Well, I looked and they all looked alike.

[A]

Yeah, but if you felt this was the worm, why did you reach in there? Do you want worms?

[B]

No, but I thought maybe I might be wrong this time.

[A]

In other words, you went against your female intuition.

[B]

That's right.

[A]

Just for the fun of it, which one of these two? You've lost. But we'll see if your female intuition. Which one tells you of which one of these two.

[B]

That might be the car there.

[A]

Right here. Let's see. Ah, it's the rat. Yeah, this is the car. And so your intuition didn't work. But you, Mrs. Durham from Indianapolis get a consolation prize of a beautiful Westinghouse roaster oven. You could be sure if it's a Westinghouse. And thanks for proving that people are funny. They should never go against intuition. Goodbye. Please stay with us. The fun continues. Big dog out to a nearby neighborhood to test scientifically how sentimental people are about the combination of a boy and a dog. And if he could get the people to keep the dog overnight, there'd be something doing for everybody. So let's bring in the boy and the big dog and see what happened. Woohoo. Here he comes. There you are. The boy. The dog is a gray big Saint Bernard outweighs the boy about two to one. And Reese is a young eight year old lad who went out. And what did you do, Reese?

[B]

I went out house to house and I asked people if they would keep a dog for me.

[A]

Overnight?

[B]

Yeah, overnight.

[A]

But where was this dog when you asked them that? In the car, they didn't see this dog at all. You said it was a little puppy.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

And you told him a miserable story about the fact that the father would let you keep the dog if you could keep him overnight. Huh?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

This is very interesting. Interview conditions. Your name, please. And so what happened? Did you get turned down the first place or not?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, they wouldn't let you when you brought the dog up?

[B]

They. They had a dog? No, I didn't bring the dog up. They had a dog already. Oh.

[A]

And they wouldn't keep your dog just for one night?

[B]

Nope.

[A]

So then you went to the next place. Then what happened?

[B]

Well, then they. They were nice about it, but they. But they. They all seem to have dogs, and.

[A]

They didn't want to keep your dog. Did you ever find anybody who said they would?

[B]

The last house I went to have, they didn't have a dog. And I went up to it, and she was real surprised when I brought up the dog, but she. She kept. She agreed.

[A]

In other words, when instead of a little puppy who brought this great big monster up, the woman agrees. Did you bring her back?

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Let's find out who this woman is. Oh, boy. Who are you?

[B]

Betty Danko.

[A]

Where are you from, Mrs. Danko?

[B]

Ms. Danko.

[A]

Oh, a single lady.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

And young Mr. Ehrlich here. Appeal to your sense of a little boy wanting a dog.

[B]

That's right.

[A]

What happened when he brought the big thing up?

[B]

Well, I don't know. My cat took off like this and knocked my mother down in the kitchen.

[A]

I.

[B]

My mother doesn't know where I am or anything.

[A]

She just saw you go away with a big dog? Well, I tell you. Yeah, it is a little crazy. We wanted to find out if people would take pity on a little boy who had a puppy to take overnight. Do you know he went to a lot of houses and they all turned him down. Until he came to your house?

[B]

Well, I thought he belonged in the neighborhood. You know, I asked him where he lived. I thought, well, if he's, you know, a new neighbor or something like that, I should be very neighborly.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And so he said his father was show up the next day. So I thought, well, all right, you know, so then. So then I went back in. I closed the door and I went back in because he was going down the street. I thought he was going home to get the dog or something. So I went back in. And then we knock at the door.

[A]

And here's this huge animal, this huge Animal. And he came bounding in, huh?

[B]

He almost knocked me down.

[A]

Well, now, did you still say you'd keep him?

[B]

Well, what could I do? I had, you know, promised.

[A]

You promised a little boy? Of course.

[B]

He said 22 pounds a day he eats. And my cat, you know, eats one pound every three or four days. And that's all I had home was a little bit of cat meat. And see, I was going to take care of him.

[A]

You could have fed the cat to him. Do you work here in town?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

What do you do?

[B]

Well, I work in pictures.

[A]

In pictures with you?

[B]

Extra, extra bits standing in, huh?

[A]

Well, good. Well, you're certainly standing in for a little boy tonight. And where are you going to keep the dog? Do you have a place to keep the St. Bernard?

[B]

I'll either have to keep in the garage or in my room and stay in the garage myself. I don't know.

[A]

You live with your mother?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Doesn't she have a room there?

[B]

Yes, she has. But she doesn't know where I've disappeared.

[A]

Oh, she doesn't want a room with the dog overnight. Is true. Well, I tell you, Ms. Danko, you have come through with flying colors. You not only volunteered to help a little boy, but when the obstacles became horrifying, you still went through with it. And so we'd like to have you take home for your home a beautiful tappan gas range with all of exclusive tap and see.

[B]

Joking, huh? You're joking.

[A]

No, that's yours. From us. From People Are Funny. Would you like it?

[B]

I certainly would, but. You're kidding.

[A]

No, it's yours. It's yours. And the next time anybody comes to the door with a big dog, you can run, put your head in the oven and turn the gas on. And Reese, we're gonna give you to your home a beautiful Stromberg Carlson television set. How do you like that, huh? There's nothing finer than a Stromberg Carlson. And for the dog, we have in the back a rhinoceros bone that you can take home with you. Thank you very much. Goodbye, Vostenko. Goodbye, Reese. Join Art Linkletter again next time for more fun Morzani antics. Once again proving that people are funny. Just sitting by the face I'm singing.

[B]

A song just for.
