The Art Of Improvising

I don't know if you remember the game show 'Hollywood Squares'? In case you do, you know how some of the panel members would come up with quite some hilarious answers at times. In those days, the answers were all improvised and not scripted, as they are nowadays.

In case you never have heard of either the game show, or the panel members; no problem. You will get a kick out of the answers anyway.

The following questions were asked by Peter Marshall, the host of the show:

Q. Do female frogs croak?
A. Paul Lynde: If you hold their little heads under water long enough.

Q. If you're going to make a parachute jump, at least how high should you be?
A. Charley Weaver: Three days of steady drinking should do it.

Q. You've been having trouble going to sleep. Are you probably a man or a woman?
A. Don Knotts: That's what's been keeping me awake.

Q. Which of your five senses tends to diminish as you get older?
A. Charley Weaver: My sense of decency.

Q. As you grow older, do you tend to gesture more or less with your hands while talking?
A. Rose Marie: You ask me one more growing old question Peter, and I'll give you a gesture you'll never forget.

Q. Jackie Gleason recently revealed that he firmly believes in them and has actually seen them on at least two occasions. What are they?
A. Charley Weaver: His feet.

These funnies were sent to me in an email and it ended with the phrase:
We don't stop laughing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop laughing!
I can not agree more with that statement.

I hope you grew a little younger after reading this post. Grin.
