Red Skelton

by Dianne

For those of you old enough to remember Red Skelton, I think you will enjoy this. For those of you not old enough you will see what you missed. Either way, his humor was always clean and he was a great entertainer. A re-run of great 'one liner's' from the man who was known for his clean humor.

RED SKELTON'S RECIPE FOR THE PERFECT MARRIAGE


1. Two times a week we go to a nice restaurant, have a
little beverage, good food and companionship.
She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.


2. We also sleep in separate beds.
Hers is in California, and mine is in Texas ..


3. I take my wife everywhere,
but she keeps finding her way back.


4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary.
"Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said.
So I suggested the kitchen.


5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.


6. She has an electric blender, electric
toaster and electric bread maker.
She said "There are too many gadgets, and no place
to sit down!" So I bought her an electric chair.


7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well
because there was water in the carburetor.
I asked where the car was. She told me, "In the lake."


8. She got a mud pack and looked great for two days.
Then the mud fell off.


9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling, "Am I too late
for the garbage?" The driver said, "No, jump in!".


10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.


11. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her
first name was 'Always'.


12. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months.
I don't like to interrupt her.


13. The last fight was my fault though.
My wife asked, "What's on the TV?"
I said, "Dust!".


Can't you just hear him say all of these?


I love it. These were the good old days when humor
didn't have to start with a four letter word.
It was just clean and simple fun.
And he always ended his programs with the words,


"And May God Bless"
with a big smile on his face.

Morning Glories!

No there were not any cuss words but the jokes were still at the expense of the wife. I know I am a party pooper but if you really read the context it is still perpetuated today. Notice no jokes about him being a less than perfect spouse. Okay off my soapbox.

Sounds the like The Hawaii 5-0 group is having a blast! Sounds fantastic! Loving the pictures on FB.

Getting packed this weekend, as I am heading to Vancouver with Mr. Lynn D next week.

Waving a wing at ya all!

DI: My parents watched The Red Skelton Show. I remember a couple of his characters..Clem Kadiddlehopper..a name that made me giggle when I was a kid..and still makes me smile..and then there was a clown..I'd have to Google that name. Ok..did that..wow the speed of the internet! It was Freddy the Freeloader.

I sure can hear him saying everyone of those..and I can vouch for the dust on the TV one causing a little tiff..js.. :D

LYNN: 'ello gorgeous! Yay! I'm glad you're getting to go to Vancouver next week! Make sure to pack your artist supplies! :)

Jodi said...

Today we went to Chinatown and visited TURTLE'S Mr. Yee. I've never had acupuncture before. I was hoping he could help me with my right leg. I stepped wonky off a curb at the airport on Wednesday, and it's been giving me fits on and off ever since. Hell getting old....°sigh°

Jodi said...

ZONA - Forgot my camera today, but snapped a few with my phone!

Dianne/Denver said...

Hey Everyone....how are you all doing? I'm a little grouchy tonight at Louis and its carrying over into my night.

Jodi, hope you knee gets better ...you don't even know what old is....be careful.

Lynn, have a good get away trip. Paint and relax...sounds like fun.

Zona, actually I was never crazy about Red Skelton. I was just kind of passing blogs on. My parents liked him a lot too and I'm really too young to remember most of him. :)

Dianne/Denver said...

Published before I was ready...I wanted to ask Barb what she was doing today? Our play from the other night got a not so great review in the paper today.

Jodi said...

DIANNE - Don't b grouchy! What did he do?

Dianne/Denver said...

Mary/MI said...

Another quick fly-by! Took a little nap , now getting ready t go to dinner. We are doing Italian tonight :)
The acupuncture relaxed me wayyyy too much,, but after my nap I am ready to roll!!

I like Red S. I never minded his jokes about his wife anymore than I minded Phyllis Diller's jokes about Fang LOL!!!

Last night we almost needed the bail money! I guess we were just a tad rowdy out in the Lani at 1 am lol. We heard a loud tap on the door. It was security telling us to pipe down jeesh, party pooper. lol!!

Later...
Be good Dianne!
