The Columbia Broadcasting System presents the new comedy. My friend Irma. During Marie Wilson's Irma and Kathy Lewis's Jane with John Brown as hell. Friendship, friendship, just the perfect. Blench if with other friendships within forgot.
There's will still be hot to my friend. I live with my friend Irma. She's my roommate and I love her. I wouldn't trade Irma for the world, but we have our difficulty, because just so happens, that she's not the brightest girl in the world.
Like, for instance, the other day I said, Irma, I see where they're going to make military service compulsory. And Irma said, I don't think that's fair. A girl shouldn't have to go out with a sailor unless she wants to.
See what I mean? That's my friends, as one of Irma's more logical remarks. but it is her deeds rather than her words that strike consternation in the human heart. Well, it was shortly before noon I was listening to the radio.
And fellow citizens, I'm happy to say that the better business bureau and the police department are waging a campaign to stamp out the racketeers who rent stores on second avenue, fill them with worthless merchandise, and sell them to unsuspecting citizens.

I don't know yet. What did you buy? A fur coat. It only cost me $80, and it's worth $5,000. Who told you it was? The man who sold it to me. And I know he's honest because he had it appraised by whom?
