A. Paul Lynde: (in his famous little laugh) "it fell off the edge."



That show was hilarious, and we were probably too young and naive to understand all of the jokes.

I don't think it was sea worthy after the trip so they left it there.

Can you even imagine getting on one of those boats from way back then?
Even if you knew where you were heading, the odds were that you wouldn't make it.

They didn't even know if there was anything out there to go to. Crazy.

Those folks were bold, and adventuresome, .. and stupid.

Well, I'm not so sure about how stupid they were...they did discover America. :)


Hey, you know why the Native American Indians were here first?

No...?


Because they had reservations!


:D

Actually seafaring in those days was a pretty advanced. Columbus' trip was especially difficult, obviously, because they had no landmarks to use.

Yea, because they were dumb enough to think they could reach Asia by sailing west ;)

Most explorers of the time understood that the Earth was far larger than Columbus thought it was.

I wonder how much of the show's humor was spontaneous? Was it all scripted? And who wrote the punch lines? Did Paul Lynde write a lot of his material?

Great show. Good laughs. Thanks for the post.
