COMEDY LEGEND PAUL LYNDE

Paul Lynde (1926-1982) was the center square on the classic game show Hollywood Squares from 1968-1981 and he became a master of wit. Some of Lynde's famous quips during Hollywood Squares include:

Q. Do female frogs croak?
A: If you hold their little heads under water long enough.

Q: Paul, can you get an elephant drunk?
A: Yes, but he still won't go up to your apartment.

Q: Prometheus was tied to the top of a mountain by the gods because he had given something to man. What did he give us?
A: I don't know what you got, but I got a sports shirt.

Q: Is Billy Graham considered a good dresser?
A: No, but he's a terrific end table.

Q: Is using an electric vibrating machine a good way to lose weight?
A: That's what I told the saleslady, but she just winked.
