Today's teaser is from Carol Burnett's hilarious autobiography, This Time Together
.[Upon meeting Jimmy Stewart for the first time:]
Trying to be funny or flip or whatever it was, I gave a stupid little salute and piped up with what must be one of the dumbest things I could've come up with: "Well, guess it's time to tie on the ol' feedbag!" With that I whirled around and stepped off the two-foot-high set right into a bucket of whitewash.
It's completely delightful.
Bonus: here's Carol singing her early hit "I made a fool of myself over John Foster Dulles."
Bonus bonus: review of my last Teaser, Wrong, is the entry below this.

hehe, Carol Burnett is always funny. It's interesting to see the comedians from the 60s and see how different comedy is today.
Oh, that's cute! I hadn't realized Burnett had written a book.
Oh that is so funny sounds like a fun read and a great addition for me is I am a great Jimmy Stewart fan too!
That's really funny. No surprise, considering the source.
Actually, this isn't her autobiography (that's titled One More Time), but a series of stories from her life and career -- some quite short, others longer, some personal and others professional. It's a fast read but full of great stories and potential sermon illustrations.
Great teaser! Thanks for stopping by my teaser...
