One half of the "Bowery Boys" series. Huntz Hall, as I recall, was
the other.
I would have said Norm Crosby, too. Misrenounced words were definitely
his schtick.

Just to make this groan-fest a little bit wurst:
Old songs:
"She was only the washroom attendant's daughter, but everyone urined
for her."
"My baby criticized my apartment, so I knocked her flat."
"Don't go through the screen door, Ma--you might strain yourself."
"Get off of that stove, Ma! You're too old to ride the range."
"I kissed my baby goodbye at the station and then I went off in my
uniform."
"You can lock me up and throw away the key, but you can't keep my
face from breaking out."
"She was only the stablekeeper's daughter, but all the manure."

Major points to anyone who can identify the comedian who used to say
things like "What? I can't extinguish your voice over the telephone!"
I represent that remark.

Yes! Bingo! Slip Mahoney! That's the guy. Friend from Joisey told me
about him, years ago.
So what can you tell me about him? Radio? TV? Ever see him?

Actually, the Bowery Boys (aka East Side Kids and Dead End Kids) were a
larger group of "youts", I'm thinking 6-8 or more. Gorcey and Huntz Hall,
who played Satch (Horace DeBussey Jones) were the main two. The only other
names I recall are Bobby Jordan and Gabriel Dell. Gorcey's father, Bernard
Gorcey, also appeared in some of their movies as Louie Dombrowski, owner of
Louie's Sweet Shop, where the gang hung out. The movies were hilarious, DAGS
for more info and check Amazon for DVDs.

I lied...
Or, as the egg in a monastery said, "Out of the frying pan, into the friar."
1. Two vultures board an airplane, each carrying two dead
raccoons. The stewardess looks at them and says, "I'm sorry,
gentlemen, only one carrion allowed per passenger."
2. Two boll weevils grew up in Mississippi. One went to
Hollywood and_became a famous actor. The other stayed
behind in the cotton fields and never amounted to much.
The second one, naturally, became known as the lesser
of two weevils.
3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, but when they
lit a fire in the craft, it sank proving once again that you
can't have your kayak and heat it, too.
4. A three legged dog walks into a saloon in the Old West.
He slides up to the bar and announces: "I'm looking for the man
who shot my paw."
5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain
during a root canal? He wanted to transcend dental medication.
6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and
were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament
victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the
office and asked them to disperse. "But why?" they asked,
as they moved off. "Because," he said, "I can't stand
chess nuts boasting in an open foyer."
7. A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of
them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Amal." The other
goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan." Years later,
Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon
receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she
also had a picture of Amal. Her husband responds, "They're twins!
If you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal."
8. These friars were behind on their belfry payments, so
they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since
everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival
florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked
the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back
and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival
florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious
thug in town to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the
friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they
didn't close up shop.
Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that: Hugh, and only
Hugh can prevent florist friars.
9. We all know who Gandhi was, right? He was a spiritual man
who fasted regularly. Some may not realize that fasting, when
practiced regularly and for extended periods, leads not only to
weight loss, but can also cause bad breath. No matter, his
interests were higher. This great leader hardly ever wore shoes.
One might say he was ... a super-calloused fragile mystic
plagued with halitosis.
10. And finally, there was the person who sent ten different
puns to friends, in the hope that at least one of the puns would
make them laugh. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.
