Seeing Nightanglers Posting below gave me a good laugh.
Here is a quotation from the greatest philosopher of the 20th century.
“These are my principles. If you don’t like them, I have others.” - Groucho Marx

You had to love Groucho! Thanks for sharing!
I remember once on his game show that a contestant pointed out their elderly father in the audience & told Groucho he STILL played the drums…Groucho said, “Yeah, well tell your fatha to take his drum & beat it!”…Always with that sarcastic smile on his face. BTW, he did get the gentleman up there to play drums.

tuber, RW here,
Are you talking about the show where Groucho says,
“Say the magic word and win $$$?” And the duck comes down on a string?
If you remember that and I know what your talking about we’re both showing our age!! lol
Later, RW
RW, yeah, I remember “You Bet Your Life”. I remember small, round TV screens in great big boxes, only B&W and only two stations.
Am I showing my age?
REE;
My dad build one of those round screen tv’s on the dinning room table (remember Diningrooms?). I also remember Friday night wrestling! Us kids would play monolopy while the adults watched Georgous George beat the bad guys!
My favorite Groucho quote:
“Your mother spent the first two years of your life throwing rocks at the stork”
Ray;
You forgot the :roll:
RW,
You PEGGED it! I loved that show! Wasn’t his announcer/straight man George Fenneman? Yep, we’re gettin’ old!
Ray…I think we could fill several pages with Groucho quotes! :lol:
REE…Yeah, and TV shows started at 9am & the LATE shows ended at 9pm. Outside of those times, families actually had to entertain THEMSELVES. NOT all bad!

Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like bananas.
–Groucho Marx
Groucho was born in 1890, he died in 1977. He made many of a day with me on the TV, You bet your life.
The quote above from Groucho is the closest thing I know of that even resembles fly fishing.
Woman- I’ve never been so insulted in all my life.
Groucho - welllll its early yet.
Folks, RW again
One of the great all time insults by a famous person.
Comedian W.C. Fields to then First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt: “Madam, you are the ugliest woman I have ever seen.”
An indignant Mrs. Roosevelt, “You sir, are drunk!!”
W. C. Fields: “Yes madam. But I’ll be sober in the morning.”
