You young'uns won't remember Red Skelton. He was a great comic and just a great guy. When entertainment was good clean fun......



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.........this is the good old days
when humor didn't have to start with a four letter word........ just clean and simple fun

One of his funniest characters never made it off of radio and on to TV. Junior, the Mean Little Kid as a hero of mine. He was always after his mother and grandmother.

Freddy the Freeloader was another favorite.

I saw him twice. The first time we couldn't catch our breath for laughing. I was sorry after I saw him the second time; he was too old to stay in character for long. Just tired and worn down. Yet, a true gentleman of mirth.

His wife's name was Georgia. His little girl died of leukemia in the late 50's. A sad, sweet song was when he sang Scarlet Ribbons.
