1. TOO FUNNY!

My similarly 'situated' hair dresser's gonna visit me tomorrow!!!

[Srkdqltr]

2. O M G. That is funny.

[central scrutinizer]

3. They were grooming you

To be tolerant and accepting

[Wednesdays]

4. The USO were also groomers...

[Hekate]

8. Yep-- very popular stuff

[niyad]

23. Let us not forget Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye singing, "Sisters" in "White

Christmas"!

[SouthernDem4ever]

35. And the sure seemed to enjoy it

[bucolic_frolic]

5. #1 Undercover agent, and what a disguise! /nt

[Emile]

[AZ8theist]

11. HEY! Up close you're a guy!!

..far away too....

[Joinfortmill]

7. 👍

[bdamomma]

9. oh

how funny, Klinger just didn't want to fight.

[70sEraVet]

10. And Milton Berl played up the drag bit for YEARS,

and the audience screamed with laughter every time!

[niyad]

27. And Jonathan Winters. And Johnny Carson.

[SouthernDem4ever]

36. And Harvey Korman and Tim Conway

on Carol Burnett.

[SilasSouleII]

38. Flip Wilson

Geraldine Jones was hilarious.

[KentuckyWoman]

44. Oh I have not thought of him for so long. He was SO funny.

[Ilsa]

45. Tyler Perry as Madea!

He always has me in stitches.

He's one of my favorite people this year. He came to the rescue for Meghan Markle, Harry, and Archie at the drop of a hat. He was a stranger, and he protected them from potentially serious physical harm when Harry's family enabled it.

[Leith]

12. Same here!

We watched Flip Wilson as Geraldine.

Milton Berle in various dresses.

The movie Some Like It Hot.

The TV show Bosom Buddies (with Tom Hanks! ).

Bunches of it in Monty Python ( "Oh, intercourse the penguin!" ).

And the most famous one of all, one that I haven't seen mentioned at all: Lassie. Every single dog that played Lassie was male. And completely unclothed at all times.

[niyad]

28. And "Victor/Victoria" going the other way.

[GopherGal]

13. It wasn't their fault.

They'd been similarly indoctrinated by exposure to this Berle fellow during their own formative years:

[twodogsbarking]

15. I thought of Uncle Miltie first thing.

[KS Toronado]

20. Here's Milton Berle from above link, there are more

[japple]

14. Does anyone remember the womanless wedding fad that went around

(more than once?) My Dad was a bridesmaid at such an event that was held at the Southern Baptist Church our family attended in the 1950s. Just google womanless wedding.

[yellowdogintexas]

43. I remember those! Usually they were fund raisers

I lived in a very rural area and seeing those farmers dolled up in fancy dress was too funny!!

[larwdem]

16. yes

and Jamie Farr was a repiglican

[SouthernDem4ever]

37. Damn, did you have to say that?

ruined it for me.

[geardaddy]

40. He's still alive.

[ShazzieB]

17. I only see a little broken box in the o.p.

Something seems to have happened to the image.

[GoCubsGo]

18. Right-click on the box, and select "Reload Image" in the menu that pops up.

I had the same problem, but this made it show up.

[ShazzieB]

19. Now it's visible!

Thanks. I was going to try your suggestion but didn't need to. It must have just been a. temporary glitch.

[tenderfoot]

26. It's a picture of Klinger from M.A.S.H.

[JanLip]

32. Legs

He sure needed to shave his legs. 😝

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

21. unexpected

[roamer65]

22. The best attempt to escape by Klinger.

[niyad]

24. "Still wearing a dress, I see, Pvt. Klinger."

[packman]

29. And Bugs with all that cross-dressing on Sat. morning cartoons ---

[KS Toronado]

30. Completely forgot about Bugs dressing up all the time

[JanLip]

31. Womanless beauty review....

When I was in high school back in the sixties there were womanless beauty pageants every year. Some of the men were gorgeous!! Of course some weren’t. Didn’t affect anyone I knew. I loved Klinger and thought he had some snazzy outfits. Just hate to find out he was a republican

[yellowdogintexas]

42. we had a "she-male" pageant at my college

It was hilarious and the guys really got into it.

Watching a 6'5" basketball champion hamming it up in an outfit any sorority girl would love to wear (complete with 4" heels) was the best! I think he won, but I am not sure. I do know he became an executive with KFC

[NullTuples]

50. FYI, that's an incredibly offensive term regardless of intent. Not something to brag about...

[AllaN01Bear]

33. my fav drag quee. he had access to a lot of famous movie dresses .

dont forget robin williams in the birdcage.

51. I was traumatized by that one as well.

[KS Toronado]

52. Was unaware this was on twitter, thanks for posting

The Meme I found did not have the little blue bird in the upper RH corner, guessing Meme makers turn
everything outside of picture black to hide the bird. I always have difficulty copying stuff off of
twitter, is there an easy way to copy stuff or do you have to be a member in order to do so?

[Pluvious]

53. Info, tips and tricks with Twitter

I don’t believe that you have to be logged into an account for access to view and copy a link

The rendering color scheme is dependent upon the viewing client’s settings for dark/light

Meme makers just use a screen capture tool and editing tools if needed (but then of course
you have to upload it to some hosting site like Imgur)

To simply post/share a tweet you just:
1) acquire the tweet’s link via the options icon bottom/right & “Copy Link”
2) paste that into your “Message text” form box here at DU
3) trim off the useless URI tracking data AND question mark
4) preview to make sure you got it right
( optional: copy/paste original text of tweet and sandwich it between “excerpt” begin/close tags )

To find the original tweet: I use my iPad’s OCR feature to select and copy the meme’s text and ideally the “@acntname” - drop that into Twitter’s search box. Note, sometimes the search fails,
usually because the original was deleted, or the meme’s source was faked.

Hope this helps !

[KS Toronado]

54. Thanks, now you're giving me new ideas and insights

[Upthevibe]

39. Kick. N/T

[Collimator]

41. In high school I was involved with Campus Life. . .

. . . Youth For Christ.

There were Bible studies on school property during non-school hours* but most activities took place at different churches in the area. We had lots of fun social events, one of which included a drag performance. One of the guys borrowed some clothes from me and I helped him with his make-up.



* I have no objection to this, as long as Pride organizations and other religious groups are offered the same considerations.
