I found these cool DVDs in Wal-Mart. It's a four DVD set called "Comedy Classics" with...
  • 5 episodes of The Jack Benny Program
  • 12 Episodes of You Bet Your Life with Groucho Marx
  • Road to Bali (Bob Hope and Bing Crosby movie)
  • My Favorite Brunette (Bob Hope)
  • Road to Hollywood (1946 Documentary about Bing Crosby)
  • At War with the Army (Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin movie)
...761 minutes of classic wit and mirth, and all for less than $10. Score!

So, I'm standing in the checkout line with my pile of manufactured-in-China Wal-Mart crap, and the women behind me spot the DVD box.

"Ooooh, look! Bob Hope. Bing Crosby. Dean Martin!" My DVDs are a chick magnet. Dean Martin's still got the mojo. Then it happens -- "Grandma would love those!"

Grandma? What does that say about me? I'm buying them for myself. I saw them and said, "Wow, I've got to have that." I'm telling myself, "I'd pay ten bucks just for the Jack Benny DVD." These women see it and think Grandma! And one of the women was older than me!

(grumble) Next they'll be fitting me for support hose. At least they didn't try to slip me Granny's number.
