Nichols and May Telephone Operator

I first heard this in the late 1970s on KMOX radio in St. Louis. They had a Saturday morning show which featured about three hours of vintage comedy bits (from Edgar Bergen & Charlie McCarthy, W.C. Fields, the Bickerson's, etc.). It was hosted by Jack Carney and my father actually recorded this bit, among many others, on an actual eight-track cassette. I miss that show, my dad and 1970s St. Louis radio (hey, who doesn't). Thanks for the download.

So where is the post of this where it's in synch and looks like a film...??

OH MY GOSH! I heard this years ago on the Dr. Demento Show. I've always wondered where this came from. I always thought it was Lily Tomlin! Now I know!!! Thanks so very much.

I use "K" as in knife and "P" as in pneumonia ALL THE TIME and it always gets a giggle. I should send money for royalties!

@SwankyCub So do I! And, nobody ever gets the joke... But, I keep trying!

[graperonto]

@SwankyCub Or how about P as is Psychotic... or one of those!
