If you throw a lamb chop in the oven, what's to keep it from getting done?

Learn to breathe, learn to speak , but first ..learn to feel
hands house gloves
I used to wash my hands every ten minutes. I couldn't step out of the house unless I had gloves on. I wouldn't smoke a cigarette unless I opened the pack myself, and I would never use another cigarette out of that pack if someone else had touched it.

There's nothing wrong with my tits but I don't go around throwing them in people's faces.

Women's Lib? Poor little things. They always look so unhappy. Have you noticed how bitter their faces are?
wise party home
Recently I heard a 'wise guy' story that I had a party at my home for twenty-five men. It's an interesting story, but I don't know twenty-five men I'd want to invite ta a party.

Sure, I'd play an ape if they asked me. Maurice Evans did.

office competition hollywood
When television killed comedy and love stories, the movie makers went in slugging. They offered the downbeat, the degenerate as competition. This seems to me to be a sad campaign for Hollywood to use to combat box office disaster.

Mr. Cukor is a hard task-master, a fine director and he took me over the coals giving me the roughest time I have ever had. And I am eternally grateful.

My tears speak for me.
