Now that I've seen the entire segment, I still don't know - why is Shelley Berman laughing?

[dialectgirl]

Looks to me like they were thinking toilets.

[calalilygirl]

Stupid Shelley...it's not a toilet.

Ccomic Shelley Berman appeared a number of times on WML in the early 1960s. Witty and bright -- he solved some memorable games. However, we tend to remember him for his really funny bits:

"Well," he noted dryly to those teenage egg farmers, " I have never seen a cow's perspecasity."

and this classic bout of uncontrollable laughter with Kilgallen over the mental image of this product being some sort of plumbing. Kilgallen could be funny either in irony or by accident.

[soulierinvestments]

Yeah plumbing. If you have toilets on the mind, then Kilgallen's question "If it is not sensible to stand up in this, would it be sensible to sit down in it" certainly does become funny

@soulierinvestments really if you get the giggles the only answer is that they were drinking how sad. dorothy got bashed for being too serious now you come along and bash when she has fun truely sad.

[1madDogz]

@perlster Because Dorothy Kilgallen said, "Would it be sensible to sit down in it."

[OnCloudNine62]

@perlster It may have been that Shelley is thinking "toilet"?

It is always fun to decipher Daly's answers.
