I was just saying to my husband that he was sooooo funny and never took advantage of a "cheap" joke -- never vulgar, never crude, never obscene. He could be a little racy but it was always in good taste -- pure family entertainment.And didn't you love the way he could chide the politicians?
Do you remember when he made his last overseas trip with the USO at Christmas? Was it Gulf War I? We thought that we would have no more wars because Hope wouldn't be there to entertain the troops. Our world is poored today, but I'll bet that the heavens are laughing. May God lift him on eagles wings and hold him in the palm of His hand.
BTW, I always thought that Bob should have gotten the girl in the movies. I always thought he was, by far, the most interesting character.
So true! His comments titillated the troops at a time when they needed the humor. Were it done now, it would be denounced.
Imagine -- a Hollywood marriage that long!! The man had values and many in that venue could learn from him.
God bless Bob Hope. He will live forever!
