Transcript

Craft presents The Great Gilder Slee! Yeah! Craft Cheese Company will also bring you Ben Crosby every Thursday night. For some each week at this time Harold Perry has The Great Gilder Slee, written by John Wieden and Sam Moore.

Well, The Great Gilder Slee's vacation, like everyone else's, has come to an end. And our hero, full of new health and vigor, is about to take up once more the task of guarding, purifying and distributing summer field water supply.

He's at breakfast now at Leroy and Marjorie. But as he crunches methodically on the sixth piece of toast, he looks and feels every cubic inch of him a water commissioner. What caught the young? Well, since it's not rationally longer, am I there?

I suppose, as a patriotic duty. Yes. My only regret is that I have the one cup to give for my country. That'll do, Leroy. The water commissioner's got to be on the alert in these war times, you know.

Why? Well, water is one of the important sinews of war, young man. What kind of contribution could our citizens make to the war effort? There were no water to wash in. Yeah, wouldn't that be terrible?

Did Leroy, I believe you enjoy being dirty. Do you consider that shirt clean enough to wear at school? Sure, besides just the only one I've got. What about your face and hands? Are they clean?

No, sure. Look at his ears. Who asked you? Never mind. What did you have to put him for? I didn't body it. I did not. I did not. What? I'll not have the breakfast table made of peddlem with this infernal bickering.
