And now introducing that sculptor, painter, and tiddler, Mr. Jack Benny. Hello again, this is Jack Benny, Chisley, and I'm talking, and say listen, let's get a couple of things straightened out. I don't like those introductions that you keep giving me.
Oh, you don't? No, I mean, I didn't like that word chisler. No, give me that dictionary, isn't it? Well, let me see, uh, chisler. Chis, chis, here it is, chisler. A parasite, a person with no morals.
