by an automobile on Christmas, eventhough in the safety zone. But the

jumped out of the car and shesays, gee, you're the first man
I ever ran over. May Ihave your autograph? Well that's what I
call Christmas spirit. Oh that ain'tnothing. You should have seen the ambulance
that pulled up. It was drawnby six reindeers, and the doctor hopped

(04:24):
out. He was all dressed uplike Santa Claus, with a long white
beard and a hypodermic in each hand. He took one look at me and
he says, well, little man, what will you have for Christmas?
A broken armor of frightried skull,I says two new writers. Then he
crammed me down in the badge andhe rushed me off of the hospital,

(04:45):
and he dropped me down in thechimneys. And that hospital, what a
jolly place. That was the MerryChristmas dead by New Year's Hospital. Weren't
you frightened? Red? No,everybody was in the holiday mood. One
of the nurse just fixed me avery lovely drink, a surgical cocktail with
a can of ether with a cherryin it, and was then strong.

I looked in and the cherry washolding its nose. And while I was
waiting, I told a few jokes, and after the second one, they
started preparing a chloroform. How aboutgetting there? And the doctor, oh
what a guy he was. Hewas a jitterbug. While I was on
the table, he kept singing shootthe turble to me. John. I
