Since everyone in my family thinks the president is not a good man I read this to my wife and called my dad on the phone and read it to him. Thank you for brightening my day.

They did this on Johnny Carson years ago.

Melody said Abbot and Costello and they predated Carson. Thanks, for the link to the Carson material. I appreciated the updated version. Here is the original joke. http://baseball-almanac.com/humor4.shtml

Thanks for the links, but they still built it on the Abbot and Costello shtick of "Who's on first?" which is from long before George and Condi.

One of the first things my brother downloaded from the Interner (way back when) was the "Who's on first" radio transmission, that's when I decided to see as many A&C movies I could, unfortunately I've only seen "A&C do Hollywood" which is excellent.

In "animaniacs" (don't laugh, I loved that show) they did a similar thing with the bands "The Who" and "The Band" in a mock-Woodstock episode with Slappy the Squirl... LOL!!!

[eumelia.livejournal.com]

"Yes"

"The name of the band is "Yes""

"No, Who?

"That's what I'm asking you!"

"And I'm answering Who?"

"The band on the stage!!!!"

I loved that skit, I loved Slappy, she was the bomb.
Honey, why would I laugh at you watching cartoons... I still watch X-men and Batman... I'm a comic book freak for crying out loud!

Woodstock Slappy!! A true classic!

It posted the comment before I finished it..

You know I think Pete Townshend had actually guest stared (his voice anyhows..) on this episode..

Hey, look! I found the transcript (http://wbtower.ashyre.com/docs/atrans/atrans59.txt)!!
