I remember these people, I actually remember a couple of these remarks being made, Paul Lynde is absolutely a hands down favorite, they could say the craziest things without being rude, obnoxious or profane. Great wits and imagination!

Hollywood Squares-great show! Maybe second only to the incomparable Groucho and "You Bet Your Life". Who is buried in Grant's Tomb? What year did the War of 1812 begin? How long do you cook a three minute egg? What color is an Orange? Don't make em like that anymore.

If I were to get an email from my ex wife, I'm pretty sure it would not have been as funny as that one. Thanks for the memories!

Our divorce was the most amicable that you could imagine! We decided to remain married until one of us found that we wanted to marry someone else! We think of each other similar to siblings! Her mother calls me the son she didn't have to carry for nine months!
