Very clever and funny! Good one.
They just performed this on a local radio program. They couldn't get through the whole thing they were laughing so hard.
Have some rheumatism medicine and hush your mouth.

That gin/raisin thing is a Paul Harvey remedy. I heard him give that advice out many times. The only thing she is missing is...you need Gin made from Juniper..the cheapest kind. It is so funny that she would take advice from someone else and pass it on. That is more like something I would do, being I am a country bumpkin that likes to try things like that to save money and do them naturally. I would be interested in finding out where she found that out?! Maybe she is a Paul Harvey fan...don't tell her weird husband that! Opps...I didn't read all the posts..sorry if someone already said this?
Why doesn't Heinz offer gin soaked raisins in a jar?
A GEM! Priceless gem, dirtboy!
ROFL!

Brilliant. Good enough too make Al Yankovitz jealous.
*LOL*
It isn't from Mad Magazine but it certainly reads like their humor from the days when Harvey Kurtzman edited/wrote for the magazine (mid 1950s) as well as comedians like Ernie Kovacs, Bob & Ray, et al.
I've seen it before but it IS classic.
What radio program did they perform it on, BTW?
Garage Logic, KSTP AM 1500 in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Joe Soochery and 'the Rookie.' They thought it was great.

Great. The entire Kerry campaign is definitely entering Alice In Wonderland territory. You can't make this stuff up.
Whshhhoooh . . . white raisin'
That was a good one!!! Classic!!
