Here he is, folks. You laughed with him in the movie Wake Island, and soon you'll see I'm in Too Faced Quiligan as a man with two beautiful women madly in love with him. Yeah. Why was I ever cursed with this fake old charm?

The American Meet-Ins-A-Tirt presents William Vendix in The Life of Riley. The Meet-People of America, providing a great food for a great nation in great quantities. Yes, tremendous quantities.

For by the close of this year, according to final estimates by the American Meat Institute, the livestock producers and meat packers will have provided the all-time world's record total of more than 25 billion pounds of meat for our fighters, our allies, and our folks at home.

This is the biggest meat producing job ever done by any meat producing country in the history of the meat-eating world. And now, on behalf of all those engaged in supplying meat to the nation, the American Meat Institute presents The Life of Riley.

Some weeks ago, Riley helped his son, Jr., with his algebra homework, and by getting every problem wrong almost wrecked the local school system. When things finally got straightened out, Riley discovered that he had been signed up by Jr.'s teacher, Ms. Jessup, to attend her classes at adult night school.

Since then, Riley's been wrestling with Algebra two nights a week because in his own words, I figure like this, Junior, with this night school education after the war, I'll get an office job. I'll sit with my feet up on a desk.

Sounds swell, Pop. Maybe I'll even get to be an executive. Then I'll have two desks, one for each foot. Boy, that'd be great if you were an executive. Then when I graduate from college, you can make me a vice president.
