Said Jerry: “I'm a devout coward.”

Add Liberace jokes:
Liberace, it’s said, cracked his head when he jumped into his piano-shaped swimming pool. Brother George forgot to open the lid.
Last w ords : “Of course I’ll get custody of the maid — that’s what started the divorce in the first place.”
It has become traditional in space-adventure films for the men to wear more and more garb and the women less and less. This is science fiction?
Don Quinn swears he saw a British movie in which the hero's small daughter worked her way, with complications, through a brick of chocolate ice cream. Then the hero said:
