FUNNIEST THING THAT YOU EVER DID AS A KID

Funny? Me do something funny?

Stupid maybe—
When I was about 3 1/2 years old I got into the sugar bowl in Louisville, KY. I had to drag a chair to the counter, climb up on the chair, climb onto the counter, open the cupboard door and then fill my mouth with sugar. Mom caught me after I got down—my mouth was as full as full could be. She asked me if I got into the sugar. I shook my head no. What’s that in your mouth? I shrugged my shoulders. She knew. I was pretty certain she knew.

Not being allowed to leave our property-parents rules-I rode my bike in the backyard in Santa Barbara. I ducked my head as I rode under the wet clothes hanging on the clotheslines. I hit my teeth on the handle bars when I ducked. That's when I chipped my upper front left tooth.

Yip-it's still chipped to this day.

Dressed up for a Halloween party for the Independent Order of Foresters (an insurance group). Went as a hobo. It was hot in the recreation hall so I went outside to cool off. Took my hat off. Someone who came walking by put a dollar in my hat.
