Hi Daryl,

>> I never voted for anybody. I always voted against.
>> ~W.C. Fields

> Two of his other quotes I recall...

> being a d@mn fool about it". <G>

> 2) "I never drink water. Fish [have sex] in it". :P

Yep, two great one's :)

> One of the skits with the late ventriloquist Edgar Bergen and his
> dummy Charlie McCarthy, with W.C. Fields, had them "fighting each
> other". Charlie wondered if Fields would provide him something for his
> bicycle, and Fields said "I'm not that affluent, but perhaps I can buy
> you a bell". Charlie didn't want that...instead, he asked "Could I
> borrow your nose for a tail light??!!" <G> Fields was usually drunk as a
> coot!!

> After Fields told Charlie that "pulpwood was on the priority list",
> Charlie retorted "Listen here, you long nosed anteater!!".

> Bergen tries to calm them down, trying to convince Charlie that Fields
> was not a well man. Fields says "That's right Edgar. I've been a fragile
> thing of beauty, ever since I was born!!".

> To which, Charlie retorts "Why, you weren't born!! You were squeezed
> out of a bar rag"!!  <BG>

hahahahahaha :)  Good tale :)

Take care,
Janis
