Hey Riley. Yeah, what do you have? Paps Blue Ribbon. What else? Smoother, smoother, smoother flavors. Esten Sparkle, millions favor. Taste that smoother, smoother flavor. Paps Blue Ribbon beer. What do you have? Paps Blue Ribbon.

Internationally famous Paps Blue Ribbon. Finest beer served anywhere proudly presents the life of Riley starring William Bendix as Riley. Women are tolerant creatures, always ready to overlook weaknesses in their menfolk. Can a wife forgive her husband for forgetting her birthday?

Of course she can. But what wife can forgive a husband who not only forgets her birthday, but remembers another woman's birthday which happens to fall on the same day? Well, of course not one husband and a million would ever be dumb enough to do a thing like that.

And now let's drop in at the home of one in a million, Riley. Oh, Babsy. Darling, you shouldn't have. Don't be silly, Mother Happy Birthday. Oh, it's just what I wanted, dear. My old blouse is a wreck.

You and you got you something too. Oh, the darling. I hope Daddy remembers this year. Well, bad chance of that. But I don't mind. I've given up hope long ago. Oh, it's not. Fair Mother, he never remembers your birthday, but you always remember his.

Well, I can't help but he keeps reminding me. Well, maybe he'll remember you this year. I stopped believing in miracles long ago. Oh, there he is. Oh, hi Dublin, hi Babsy. Hello dear. Hi Daddy, what's in that package?

Hey, wait a minute, that's not for you, Babs. Now don't spoil the rapping, I had it done up special. Oh, Mother, he did remember after all. Oh sure, I remember it. I don't forget birthdays.
