A couple of the guests laughed real good at the jokes. Was one Carl Reiner? And, Minnie Pearl?

....maybe 30-40 feet away.

My all time favorite bit was the one about double meanings of words and of course what you could say on television back then.

He said, "for example, the word prick. You can prick your finger but you can't finger your prick!!"

That must be 50 years old, but I remember it vividly.

Later in his life. A few years before he passed away. He’s so so sharp. Funny, I didn’t even recognize him. He looked so young! And so much hair! Lol

One of my favorites is his comparison between Baseball and Football.

Baseball is played on a field, football on a gridiron etc.
