From Hollywood, the George Burns and Gracie Allen Joe for Hormel and Spam. Crazy people, Gracie Allen, the smoothies street. Last one on the street, who is Bob Houston.
It's time for fun with Burns and Allen and another helpful hint for you women who are looking for something different to serve for dinner. Give the family baked Spam.
That's the easy way to have meat for dinner that really hits the spot. Just open a can of Spam, stud the delicious meat with clothes and slip it into the oven. The simple directions are right on the spam label and it only takes but a jiffy.
Now once your family tastes the tender, juicy goodness, the meaty flavor of baked spam, you'll find yourself serving spam often. Spam has a finer flavor, extra goodness, because it's different. A perfect combination of pork shoulder with ham meat added.
Try baked spam for dinner tomorrow. Be sure to tell your food dealer you want S-P-A-M Spam. They are those two delightful Spam stars, George and Gracie! Thank you very very much. Oh, George, your arms is a cute new Christmas hat, I ordered.
In front of the hat, there's a little feather sticking out, and it's a beautiful thing. What's the feather for? Well, that's the one that fellow kisses me, he'll really be tickled. Gracie, why don't you put a little windshield wiper under the hat so you can brush off the lipstick at the same time?
Oh, hah, y'all just try to mix me up till I'll say silly things. Yeah. That's hard to do. I love Christmas. Remember last Christmas? Yeah, there was your brother coming down to chimney with a sack on his back. Yeah, and there was Santa Claus right behind him how and stuff As he looked very smart in his dark blue suit
