27 W.C.Fields-Beebee Gun-Prohibition

Now we get to W.C. Fields. He was a friend of mine. He was a great drunk, and if they'd had marijuana in those days, I'm sure he'd have been using it. And he lived in San Fernando Valley.

And he always carried a BB gun. And he sat in the bushes, and when the tourists would go past, he would shoot at them. One day he allowed me in his house. And he had a lot of that and it led up to an attic.

And in this attic he had $50,000 with a whiskey, unopened cases of whiskey. And I said to him, Bill, what do you get that booze there for? We haven't had prohibition in 25 years. He says it may come back.
