13 Things About Dane Bramage

The "I'll take Charley Weaver to block" Edition
13 Questions and Answers from the Old Hollywood Squares Show

Well because I am a total slacker very busy lately I have decided to forward something I got via email. And since it is easier than me actually thinking up something I present this to you:

If you remember the Original Hollywood Squares and its comics, this may bring a tear to your eyes. These great questions and answers are from the days when 'Hollywood Squares' game show responses were spontaneous and clever, not scripted and (often) dull, as they are now. Peter Marshall was the host asking the questions, of course.

1. Q. Do female frogs croak?
   A. Paul Lynde: If you hold their little heads under water long enough.


2. Q. If you're going to make a parachute jump, at least how high should you be?
   A. Charley Weaver: Three days of steady drinking should do it.


3. Q. True or False, a pea can last as long as 5,000 years
   A. George Gobel: Boy, it sure seems that way sometimes.


4. Q. You've been having trouble going to sleep. Are you probably a man or a woman?
   A. Don Knotts: That's what's been keeping me awake.


5. Q. According to Cosmopolitan, if you meet a stranger at a party and you think that he is attractive, is it okay to come out and ask him if he's married?
   A. Rose Marie: No, wait until morning.


6. Q. Which of your five senses tends to diminish as you get older?
   A. Charley Weaver: My sense o f decency.


7. Q. As you grow older, do you tend to gesture more or less with your hands while talking?
   A. Rose Marie: You ask me one more growing old question Peter, and I'll give you a gesture you'll never forget.


8. Q. Paul, why do Hell's Angels wear leather?
   A. Paul Lynde: Because chiffon wrinkles too easily.


9. Q. Charley, you just decided to grow strawberries. Are you going to get any during the first year?
   A. Charley Weaver: Of course not, I'm too busy growing strawberries.


10. Q. Can boys join the Camp Fire Girls?
    A. Marty Allen: Only after lights out.


11. Q. When you pat a dog on its head he will wag his tail. What will a goose do?
    A. Paul Lynde: Make him bark?


12. Q. Back in the old days, when Great Grandpa put horseradish on his head, what was he trying to do?
    A. George Gobel: Get it in his mouth.


13. Q. Who stays pregnant for a longer period of time, your wife or your elephant?
    A. Paul Lynde: Who told you about my elephant?

I still have about ten left so I'll save them for later!
