(35,176 posts)Thanks for a chuckle.
This Bolton mess got me up and alert and upset in the first 10 minutes of waking. Not a way to wake up. The chuckle allowed a nice cup of tea.

Groucho's daughter Melinda introduces the skit.

(3,894 posts)It's funny how just seeing Groucho makes me hear his voice in my head as I read the captions.
I think Groucho and Bugs Bunny are my two favorites when it comes to wise cracks.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
