Show Description

Pantyhose shuts down Massey Ferguson Tractor factory Stamps - the size of the stamp is related to the self esteem and confidence quotia of the country of origin Reading the newspaper - the real stories are inside. Sports and insulting headlines. Shep relates a time he went to a Titans game where they won with a 107 yard touchdown and nothing was mentioned in the paper the next day. Want ads - Authentic dead copperhead in formaldehyde. Kids and snakes. The indelible pencil - Jack Morton had purple tongue through high school. There is a myth that Shep lives in NJ. "Shep does not, never has, and never will live in NJ" (See note) Letter from listener - I wrote you about marrying my sister and you never contacted her. Cuckoos - People in show business are indignent. One listener writes in that she saw Shep selling mens ties Constant invitations to dinner Shep compares notes with Jack Parr about fan mail they receive.

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
