W.J.R. the Goodwill Station Detroit. W.J.R. FM. I've sold Adam's gum for 20 years in my store, and now here's Adam's wild cherry, brand new, and it's my good gum, I'm telling you. Adam's wild cherry, Adam's wild cherry, and mighty good gum, I'm telling you.
It's 10 o'clock Eastern Standard Time. For the safety of your smile, use pepsiadon twice a day, see your dentist twice a year. Lever Brothers Company presents the pepsiadon show, My Friend Irma, created by Stih Howard and starring Marie Wilfsen as Irma, with Joan Banks as Jane.
Friendship Day here and all the birds have migrated south where they'll remain until spring. Which reminds me of the girl I live with, Irma Peterson.
Not that she's gone south because she's right here with me in New York City. She may be here, but believe me, her brain is in Miami. Now, don't misunderstand. I love her. And there's really nothing wrong with her except that, well, for instance, the other day I was reading the paper and I said,
Irma, yes, yes. It's very interesting. It says here that soybeans have a thousand and one uses. They're even using them to make pink wiz. Soybean? Gosh, that must make the paint awfully lumpy. Yep, that's my Irma.
A living contradiction to the scientific theory that no one can live in a vacuum. Oh, well. She's still my roommate, and I'll stick up for her anytime. Right now, we're both in the apartment, and everything is quite normal.
I think. Oh, no, it isn't. Irma is covering up the calendar with her hand. Irma? Yes, Jane. Why are you covering the calendar with your hands? It's a secret. What do you mean secret? Jamari's my birthday. For why the wispery? I want to give myself a surprise party.
