Hedley Lamarr: My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

Taggart: God darnit, Mr. Lamarr, you use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar whore.

Most famously used by Leno in his “Jay-Walking” segments but goes back to early “man on the street” interviews in the black & white era. Someone figured out that the idiotic responses were more entertaining than the thoughtful ones and editors took it from there.

But how many Great Lakes are there? “Dude - they’re all great when your fishing on a day off with a full cooler.”

My favorite was the one where he asked a series of LA young people to complete this phrase: "The land of the free, and the home of the ..."

One girl thought about it and said "desperate?"

Fun.

Lots of boobies.

At least the one guy said, “I’m drunk right now”.

I hope drunk co-eds on the beach are not voting for our future.

I always love a Blazing Saddles reference. Well done.

I recall Steve Allen doing “Man on the the Street” sketches with Don Knotts, Louis Nye and Tom Poston. I watched Allen’s late night show every night from 11:30 PM to 1:00 AM while attending high school. Somehow, I managed to still achieve perfect attendance through high school.

I hope this is staged stuff. If not our country is toast. Why are we paying school taxes?

Heddy Lamar, a near-genius beauty.

The perfect during-and-after woman.

Really? I lived just down the street from The Steve Allen Show (Las Palmas avenue) while I was in high school and I'd go watch it live, in person every night I could.

Didn't get much sleep but that show was funny! I was living on my own back then...

Of course that's what the Democrats are counting on. Were it not for people like this, the Democrat Party would have dropped into the sewer of history, where it belongs, long ago. Expect the Democrats to be on the beach with mail-in ballots.

On a brighter note: Only half of America is in decline. The rest is ascendant!

We should be demanding that teachers give us our money back.

I’d have trouble naming the Great Lakes. Just not relevant to my life.

Excepting the new Lake America, of course.

And I’d need a pen and paper to spell “rhythm”. I can barely spell my own name orally. I have to be able to look at the word. I’d always go out on purpose in the first round in spelling bee’s to get the agony over with.

The handsome young blonde man was probably homeschooled.

Who needs enemy’s when we grow our own.

Just think if he asked their parents questions.
