The way they made Ed "talk" was to put a thread over his gums. rsdsharp Jun 2023 #14

rsdsharp, Mr. Ed pronounced it Wil---Bur. debm55 Jun 2023 #26

I heard they got him to move his mouth by feeding him peanut butter. n/t Mr.Bill Jun 2023 #40

That's what they told people. But after a while, Ed didn't need the thread. rsdsharp Jun 2023 #41

Mr. Ed used to talk to people on the phone. Meadowoak Jun 2023 #17

Oh yes, you are right. But the person on the other other end didn't know he was talking to a horse. debm55 Jun 2023 #20

Sometimes he'd even make prank calls. Meadowoak Jun 2023 #23

Or scam calls. debm55 Jun 2023 #34
