Transcript

The Craft Foods Company presents The Great Gilder's League! It's The Great Gilder's League starring Harold Perry, brought to you by The Craft Foods Company, makers of a complete line of famous quality food products.

Now let's join The Great Gilder's League. It's a Saturday night in Summerfield, and so we find him as usual, occupying one of the best of the rickety chairs which furnish the Jolly Boys Club, up about Floyd Munson's barbershop.

At the moment, Judge Hooker is the only other member present. Wonder where everybody is. I can't imagine. Seems like we're having trouble getting a quorum here lately. Maybe the club needs something. Possibly. Well, what'll we do, Judge?

I don't know. Maybe we could call up somebody? Who? I don't know. Club may be getting in a rut. Maybe we ought to take on some new activity. Like, say, bullying. I don't care for bowling.

All the better. It might help your liver. Wait. Here come somebody. Who goes there? Well, Gudrun, how are the gala boys tonight? Good evening, P.V. P.V.! Let me give you a hand with those cokes.

Yeah, thanks. Stick them right here in the ice bucket. Now this would be a thirsty club without you, P.V. Last week we had a cent floyd out for drinks. Where were you? That's me? Yes.

Yes. That's how it is? Yes. I decided to spend the evening with Mrs. Peevey. Well, that's no way for a jolly boy to behave, Peevey. Yeah, that's easy enough for a bachelor to say. You fellas don't have to explain what goes on down here.

Why is that old club so important, she says? You see, there was men all the time anyway, she said. Hard question, answered. But it's only one night a week, Peevey. No wife in the world wants her husband hanging around every night.
