Transcript

comedy, A for Abbott, M for Maxwell, E for Luke Costello. Put them all together and they spell, Camel. Experience is the best teacher. Try a camel. Let your own experience tell you why more people are smoking camels than ever before.

And draw up a chair for tonight's camel show starring Bud Abbott and Luke Costello. Hey Costello, Costello, come over here. Look at you. Let me tell yourself. You're all covered with dust. Huh? You're all covered with dust. When did you get so dirty?

I was over at your house, have it? I've been helping your wife do our spring cleaning. My house isn't that dirty. Oh no, when I got through cleaning, we found four new rooms. Hey, Evan. I nearly got no... Evan. Hey, Evan. Hey, Evan.

And I nearly got arrested too. And, uh, nearly got arrested. How come? I ran out on a porch to shake the dust mop. And a woman across the street called the cops. Why? She thought I was choking your wife.

Oh, talk, sense. You know you ought to have a house of your own. Settle down. Find some nice girl. Why is it you don't ever seem to get along with girls, Lou? Appet, when it comes to girls, I really got a late start in the line.

You see, my parents were very strict. You mean they wouldn't let you out with the opposite sex? They wouldn't even tell me which was the opposite sex. Only this morning, my father told me never to go out with girls.

Where's your father now? Out with girls. But since I'm out here in Hollywood, Appet, I found out about girls. I've rubbed shoulders with Lana Turner. I rubbed shoulders with Hedy Lamarr. And I rubbed shoulders with Patty Guava.
