Conversation with loved one



Husband is rediscovering 50's television.  He recently sent me a clip from the Jack Benny show.  Jack was interviewing a young Jayne Mansfield and there was a bit about the purse she was carrying.  She asked him if he got all of his guests by returning their purse.   He said, No, once he tried that with Martha Raye and he lost the purse and an usher.  Got a laugh.

Then the conversation took an odd turn.  He commented that Martha Raye was a famous old time chef, wasn't she?

Uh, no she was a 40's and 50's comedien known for her comedy act and large exaggerated-with-lipstick mouth.

Oh....

I asked him if he meant Rachel Ray whose mouth is generous or


Martha Stewart?  Well, maybe,he does love to combine two words to make up a new one, so this tends to spill over a bit.
Meet Martha Raye the famous comedien chef who is muscular and wears red lipstick.
