If you are old enough to remember the Original Hollywood Squares and its
comics, this may bring a tear to your eyes. These questions and answers are
from the days when "Hollywood Squares" game show responses were spontaneous,
not scripted, as they are now. Peter Marshall was the host asking the
questions, of course.
Q: Do female frogs croak?
A: Paul Lynde: If you hold their little heads under water long enough.
Q: If you're going to make a parachute jump, at least how high should you
be?
A: Charley Weaver: Three days of steady drinking should do it.
Q: True or False, a pea can last as long as 5,000 years.
A: George Gobel: Boy, it sure seems that way sometimes.
Q: You've been having trouble going to sleep. Are you probably a man or a
woman?
A: Don Knotts: That's what's been keeping me awake.
Q: According to Cosmopolitan, if you meet a stranger at a party and you
think that he is attractive, is it okay to come out and ask him if he's
married?
A: Rose Marie: No; wait until morning.
Q: Which of your five senses tends to diminish as you get older?
A: Charley Weaver: My sense of decency.
Q: In Hawaiian, does it take more than three words to say "I Love You"?
A: Vincent Price: No, you can say it with a pineapple and a twenty.
Q: What are "Do It," "I Can Help," and "I Can't Get Enough"?
A: George Gobel: I don't know, but it's coming from the next apartment.
Q: As you grow older, do you tend to gesture more or less with your hands
while talking?
A: Rose Marie: You ask me one more growing old question Peter, and I'll give
you a gesture you' ll never forget.
Q: Paul, why do Hell's Angels wear leather?
A: Paul Lynde: Because chiffon wrinkles too easily.
Q: Charley, you've just decided to grow strawberries. Are you going to get
any during the first year?
A: Charley Weaver: Of course not, I'm too busy growing strawberries.
Q: In bowling, what's a perfect score?

Q: It is considered in bad taste to discuss two subjects at nudist camps.
One is politics, what is the other?
A: Paul Lynde: Tape measures.

A: Rose Marie: Unfortunately Peter, I'm always safe in the bedroom.
Q: Can boys join the Camp Fire Girls?
A: Marty Allen: Only after lights out.
Q: When you pat a dog on its head he will wag his tail. What will a goose
do?

habit of kissing a lot of people?

Q: Back in the old days, when Great Grandpa put horseradish on his head,
what was he trying to do?

Q: Who stays pregnant for a longer period of time, your wife or your
elephant?
