Saturday and Sunday at 6. WEDBR brings back the test of radio's golden press. The acquisition of tonight's episode of the Life of Riley was made possible in part by a grant from the Bank of New York, providing complete banking services throughout Western New York.
That makes us Riley! And now, the Life of Riley! As we know by now, it's usually lurking around the corner ready to post on war worker Riley.
In other particular evening, Riley had dropped in at Witherspoon's drugstore to buy a cigar. And there, eating a Sunday was faced in the person of little Waldo Beni, Riley's next door neighbor. Hi, Eduardo. Hello, Mr. Riley.
You shouldn't be having an ice cream Sunday before dinner, you lose your appetite. I've already lost my appetite, so much willing. My wife's aunt, Miss Grimshaw, came back today from her vacation. I know how you feel, Waggle. A man's home ain't as careful with his wife's relatives camping on him.
You got your wife's hand living off you and I got my wife Uncle Buckley. You got a drag. I got a leech. Is your uncle Buckley really a leech? But he docked right the very successful man.
Oh yeah, really successful. He's a self-made husband. Four months ago that grater established a beachhead on my favorite Mars chair and it looks like I'll never outflank him. Yeah, we both have our troubles. Many is the time I've started running away from home.
I couldn't do that. I ran away from home. I'd have to take my wife and a kid. But, I was a friend with a room shutter, and I'd have to come home every night to sleep.
