My favorite Fields bit is from “It’s a Gift,” when he’s trying to take a nap on the porch, and gets constantly interrupted by a series of inane situations.

Fields was an original. He refused to do scenes with either animals or children, figuring they would steal the scene from him.

I love the scene with the blind man in the store, and at the picnic when he tries to open the can of tomatoes.

On one of my recent trips through Afghanistan, we lost our corkscrew. Were forced to live on food and water for several days.

I’m looking for Karl La Fong.

Man” “Do you know ‘’Carl La Fong?’’ “Capital “L small a , capital F small ‘’o’’, small ‘’n’’ small ‘’g’’. La Fong, Carl La Fong’’. Fields “No I don’t know Carl La Fong, capital L small a , capitial F’ small o, small ‘’n’’, small g’’. And if I did know Carl La Fong I wouldn’t admit it!’’.

Yes, that was a good bit. “Ipecac or syrup of squill?”

My all-time favorite line (and I can’t remember what movie it was in) was when Mae West and Fields were at a restaurant. Fields orders brandy, and the waiter says, “Yes, sir. Snifter?”, to which Fields replies, “Snifter? Why, I haven’t even kissed her!”.

I never knew how they got that one past the Hays Office.
