The Egg And I

The Jack Benney Program presented by Lucky Strike. Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Listen. At auctions for over 19 years I have seen the makers of a lucky strike by fine good-tasting tobacco. John L. Cummins, tobacco auctioneer, said that.

Yes, at market after market, independent tobacco experts can see the makers of Lucky Strike, consistently select and buy that fine, that light, that naturally mild tobacco. Remember, LSMT Lucky Strike means fine tobacco, and fine tobacco means real, deep down smoking enjoyment for you.

So smoke that smoke of fine tobacco Lucky Strike, so round, so firm, so fully packed, so free and easy on the draw. The Lucky Strike program starring Jack Benny with Barry Livingston, Phil Harris, Rochester, Dennis Day, and yours truly, Don Wilson.

Ladies and gentlemen, over these many years that I've been introducing our scintillating star, my one regret has been that I'm not a poet. For if I were, I would paint a word picture with colorful phrases.

What a beautiful thought, Don. I can just imagine you a poet. Henry Wadsworth Fat Fellow. Continue, Don. However, you don't have to be a Shelley or a Keats to... I'll get it down. Hello? Hello, Mr. Benny, that's Rochester.

Rochester, you certainly picked a fine time to call. Why aren't you listening to the program? That's why I call, boss. There's something wrong with the radio. Oh, maybe there's a break in the electric cord.

You know, the one that runs from the radio to where we've got it plugged in. I thought of that, boss, so I traced it. I started at the radio, went around the baseboard, up to the window sill, out the window across the driveway, through the hedge and right to the plug on Mr. Coleman's back boat.
