Most of you may not know of or some may not remember a comedian by the name of "Soupy Sales." Well I see where he died at age 83.
His gig was getting hit in the face with pies.
What I remember most was I was in California, probably long before most of you were born, but he had a kid's televison show - don't ask why I was watching it at age 14 but anyway, I actually saw and heard this and the television station immediately just went blank!
He is telling his audience, all children sitting around (yes you have no doubt heard this one before, but I think he may have been the first to say it on live television) "I took my girlfriend to the ball game the other night!
I kissed her between the strikes and she kissed me between the balls!"
Thanks for the laughs, Soupy!
