Rodney: "I worked places when I started out you wouldn't believe. I worked one place that was so far out in the woods that my act was reviewed by Field and Stream."

Loved that guy!

If you haven't, while you're on gooftube, look up the Dean Martin Roasts. I don't know if I've ever laughed so hard in my life. Especially the ones with Rodney, Rickles and Foster Brooks!

Not sure if it was Rodney or not that said
My sister was so ugly the only way the dog would play with her was to tie a porkchop around her neck!

True.

Carol Burnett too. Lots of others.
There actually IS some good stuff on YouTube; you just have to ignore the left wing contemporary slant.

Patrick F. McManus was one of my favorites. He had the last page in Outdoor Life. Here's a sampler:

I think he wrote "A Boy's First Axe", but not finding it. Anyone remember McManus?

Absolutely I remember McManus, I have most of his books.
Of course 'Poof no eyebrows ' is an old favorite!

On one of the carson tonight show clips on the "toob" carson congratulates rodney on his career successes and rodney waves away the flattery in self-depreciation and tugs at his necktie and shirt collar and replies, "you wouldn't believe just how many women I had to sleep with to get where I am !"
