the Kingfish and Sapphire. Having his mother in law on
the premises hasn't been easy on the Kingfish. She's been
riding him pretty hard, and right now she has him
helping with the house cleaning. Mama is seated on the

George. If you hang it along with my mother, it's
your fault.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
My mother is kind and Jim, Now, don't give me
that kind and gentle stuff. I heard the stories about
her and your papa. What you talking about, Well, everybody
knows that you hit him over the head with a
broom handle the day before he died. He led the
lump on his head the size of a coconut.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
That's a lot. Then why did the bird the old
man with a derby on?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
So you was having a tough time trying to get
rid of your mother in law.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Huk.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, I just tried hinting that she ain't welcome, but
she in the type that's easily discouraged. I take the
other night I done nailed her bedroom slippers to the floor.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Boy, that was a great idea, but it didn't work.
And there she got up in the middle of.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
The night for a glass of water, stuck her feet
in the slippers.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
But she's a pretty powerful old gal.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
She ripped up two plants and snow shoot it into
the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Well, listen, Kingfish, you was a little too subtle there.
You ought to come right out and let her know
that you don't like her. Yeah, and she've been jumping
on me for twenty two years.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I wish there was some way that I could get
her out of the house.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Out of the house. Listen, Kingfish, you ain't gonna be
safety to get that old gal out of the country.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Well, Andy, you couldn't. You couldn't. You couldn't. Maybe you
could say, wait a minute, after all ended the immigration
authorities as always deeporting helions. E.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah, but Kingfish, your mamma ain't no wheling. She could
prove that with her birth certificate. Now wait a minute,
the courthouse in her hometown burned down and the atal
record of her birth.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Now I know this, of course, this didn't come up before.
When you try to get a job in.
Speaker 2 (05:09):

This is your rex All family Druggist speaking to you.
For the ten thousand independent druggers to have made the
word rex All part of our own store names. We've
done that because we recommend and sell the two no
more drug products made with the rex Al drug company.
Bismerex is a good example. This famous ant acid with
the exclusive Rexol formula fights acid indigestion four ways often
(12:11):
neutralizes excess stomach acidity in one minute, yet the relief
it gives is continuous and prolonged. Bismerex is spelled bis
m a hyphen r e x bismerex. Ask for it
at rex al drug stars everywhere.

you get a load of the food, sapphire whips up.
And if that don't do it, wait till he gets
a load of sapphire across the breakfast table. There is
a moving out face. If ever I seed one, well

you'd have been a lot better off with your mother
in law.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah. Another thing, Kingfish.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I don't like to mention this, but with a border

(18:11):
one on hand.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
Am I thirty one?
Speaker 6 (18:12):
Why what does it do well? Ma'am? I thirty one
is rex All's amber colored antiseptic with the famous three
way action. First, it's ideal for relieving the discomfort of
a simple sore throat due to a cold because it
kills contacted germs almost instantly when used full strength. Yet
it will not harm the most delicate throat membrance.
Speaker 8 (18:31):
No wonder you recommend it as a gargle.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
But that's not all due to its carefully balanced formula.
I thirty one is also a tangy refreshing mouthwash plus
a reliable breath deodorant.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
What's that name again.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
Am I thirty one? Remember it please? And remember also
you can depend on any drug product that bears the
name rex Al.

I was going by the bank and one of the
guards dropped the bag full of quarters, and they were
scattered all over the streets. All the kids in the
neighborhood were scrambling for the quarters. It looked like that
poor guard was gonna be out of luck.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
That was a tough break for him. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
And then this fella stepped out of the crowd and
took his hat off and said, all right, little children,
let's put all the quarters we fired.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
In his hat. Kingfish, it would have.
Speaker 5 (19:43):

you were gravy.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
Oh, I know as a matter of fact that it's
like it's rapid chill.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
It just like I thought old trouble must be coming
back on the old trouble.
Speaker 7 (22:24):
You ill or something?
Speaker 2 (22:25):
No, no, no, it's nothing, just a slight touch of
the parrot fever. Yeah, it's a highly contagious tropical disease
with the jumping germs and scale people so much.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
You know it.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
Well, aren't you doing anything for this parrot fever?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Well, I've been taking treatments over to polyclinic.

Speaker 7 (22:45):
Well, how did you have a get a terrible thing
like this?
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Well?
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Uh, doing one of my reason trip to the tropics,
I made the mistake of engaging in the conversation with
a sick parrot.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Nobody knowed I had the thing. And the first ecling
of it was when my wife come home on night
and found it perched on the bed pools, dashing for crackling.
This sounds fantastic.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
I just can't believe it.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Oh the fever, the fever is getting me. I can
feel my little frying now.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Oh what I need is a doctor, I say, what
I need is a doctor?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Excuse me I as a doctor. Is anybody in here
suffering from a rare tropical disease?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Doctor, I'm glad you just happened to be passing by. Yeah, well,
I was in the neighborhood treating the patient. So I
thought i'd kill two birds with one stone and pop
up and see you. Doctor.
Speaker 7 (23:40):
Is this parro of fever contagious?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Oh no, not anymore than the bluebonnet plague.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
It all depends on whether you was the scruptable to
it or not.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
You might get it, and then again the germs might
jump on you and jump off you again.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Ain't that right? Doctor? You is the doctor.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
And see miss Die always gets a little nervous when
I gets around this parrot fever. Uh for missus, Stevens,
I think we better get you at the hospital. You
look like you did tonight. I pulled you off the bedpost.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
What it's coming on me?
Speaker 7 (24:17):
It's coming on me now, listen, Stevens. I'm a very
nervous man. I can't stand in a place like this.
I'm moving out of here right away.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Yes, sir, you're doing the smart thing.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
Yeah, I'll pack my things right away. But wait a minute, doctor,
I've been exposed to this. Suppose I get it. Holler?
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Know what'll I do? Well? All I can say is if.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Your pinfeather stock twitching, you better get down to the
border health and have him throw some lime on you.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
So the king Fee's got rid of the border. Huh, yeah,
that's right, amos.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
That fellow Benson went out of there faster than the
hound dog to try to smooch with the porcupine.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Now you said the king Fee's mother in law's move
back in. Huh, Yeah, she sure is. She moved in
there today.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Or the Kingfish went on home, he's looking forward to
the evening a peace and quiet. Well, I guess that
missus Benson with the sacophone. Everything was pretty annoying around there. Yeah,
but the Kingfish look at her kind of philoslopical though.
Speaker 1 (25:12):

this happy fact is something that you can prove for yourselves.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
All you have to do is to start trading at
your rex All family Druggist Well.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
For the past three weeks, the Kingfisher's mother in law
has established what looks to be a permanent residence with
the Kingfish and Sapphire. Having his mother in law on
the premises hasn't been easy on the Kingfish. She's been
riding him pretty hard, and right now she has him
helping with the house cleaning. Mama is seated on the
window sill with her feet in the room, washing the
(01:49):
outside of a window.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Look your big LoVa.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
If you ain't gonna do any work, the least you
can do is to hold my ankles inside there while
I'm sitting on a whims.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Whoa, I'll hold them. Don't worry about the thing.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
If I was to fall off this window last, to
drop to the ground would kill me.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
George Stevens, What you looking at me like that?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Oh nothing, I'll never get away with it anyway.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I get out of my way there, I'm coming here. Well,
I just don't stand that, baldy.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Get busy.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I want you to swap the kitchen floor and take
out the trace.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I'll wait a minute, Mama, me and you was gonna
have a showdown. You done dropped though over here three
weeks ago to spend the weekend, and you have done
camp here ever since.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Now. I want to know when you're gonna leave, and

John See says, you happened MoMA in here, and.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Here comes the runner up, jehangeas mama.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Well, the last time I see the old Ryan hospice. Uh,
he was waddling off in the direction of the living room.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I listen to her name. She has gotta go. I
can't stand it no longer.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
George. If you hang it along with my mother, it's
your fault.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
My mother is kind and Jim, Now, don't give me
that kind and gentle stuff. I heard the stories about
her and your papa. What you talking about, Well, everybody
knows that you hit him over the head with a
broom handle the day before he died. He led the
lump on his head the size of a coconut.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
That's a lot. Then why did the bird the old
man with a derby on?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
So you was having a tough time trying to get
rid of your mother in law.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Huk.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, I just tried hinting that she ain't welcome, but
she in the type that's easily discouraged. I take the
other night I done nailed her bedroom slippers to the floor.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Boy, that was a great idea, but it didn't work.
And there she got up in the middle of.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
The night for a glass of water, stuck her feet
in the slippers.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
But she's a pretty powerful old gal.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
She ripped up two plants and snow shoot it into
the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Well, listen, Kingfish, you was a little too subtle there.
You ought to come right out and let her know
that you don't like her. Yeah, and she've been jumping
on me for twenty two years.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I wish there was some way that I could get
her out of the house.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Out of the house. Listen, Kingfish, you ain't gonna be
safety to get that old gal out of the country.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Well, Andy, you couldn't. You couldn't. You couldn't. Maybe you
could say, wait a minute, after all ended the immigration
authorities as always deeporting helions. E.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah, but Kingfish, your mamma ain't no wheling. She could
prove that with her birth certificate. Now wait a minute,
the courthouse in her hometown burned down and the atal
record of her birth.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Now I know this, of course, this didn't come up before.
When you try to get a job in.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
A defense plan, you think they really deport her? Kingfin Yeah, listen,
get your hat on, son. When we get finished with
that old girl down at the immigration department, they'll ship
out of this country like a load of pig iron.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
You wish to see me about something? Yea, sir, Is
you the man.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
In the immigration office here that is in charge.

fact that my mother in law is in this country illegally,
and being patriotic American, it is our unpleasant duty to

What was that again? Mother? Wasn't my friends trying to say? Here?
Speaker 5 (06:28):

guess he's pretty slap knochous in h. I guess you
was a little hasty getting rid of your mama in law.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
All right, well it's too late now. Well hear my apartment.
Then we'll see you later. So long, so long, and
so long.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Oh so it's you. You finally got home.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Well, I'm told that I ain't eating here as long
as breeze is around. Well you asked by George.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
You see, I don't hear no Sacks going. Where is
he this evening?
Speaker 8 (17:26):
Well?
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Think you've been giving him the cold shoulder every evening.
He's gotten terribly lonesome. So he's been bringing a friend
of his home from the office every night. Then is room?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Now?
Speaker 4 (17:33):
I guess he must be talking business.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Well that's a brig. Oh my head is splitting let
me sit down here and close my eyes and relax and.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Just uh uh, holy smokes.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
Now here's your rex Al family, druggists. Now's the time
of year when a lot of folks are bothered with
simple sore throats due to colds. And that's why I'm
urging my customers to keep rex Al am I thirty
(18:11):
one on hand.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
Am I thirty one?
Speaker 6 (18:12):
Why what does it do well? Ma'am? I thirty one
is rex All's amber colored antiseptic with the famous three
way action. First, it's ideal for relieving the discomfort of
a simple sore throat due to a cold because it
kills contacted germs almost instantly when used full strength. Yet
it will not harm the most delicate throat membrance.
Speaker 8 (18:31):
No wonder you recommend it as a gargle.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
But that's not all due to its carefully balanced formula.
I thirty one is also a tangy refreshing mouthwash plus
a reliable breath deodorant.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
What's that name again.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
Am I thirty one? Remember it please? And remember also
you can depend on any drug product that bears the
name rex Al.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Hold and Mickerel was shaking all over. I ain't got saxophobia.
I'll get in here and see how gunkuin Jack Calhoun
seef he can fink it some way out of this message.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
How you Calhoun, he ain't Kingfish. I just got in myself, Kingfish.
I just see one of the touching his things. I
ever seed in my whole life, you did, h Yeah.
I was going by the bank and one of the
guards dropped the bag full of quarters, and they were
scattered all over the streets. All the kids in the
neighborhood were scrambling for the quarters. It looked like that
poor guard was gonna be out of luck.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
That was a tough break for him. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
And then this fella stepped out of the crowd and
took his hat off and said, all right, little children,
let's put all the quarters we fired.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
In his hat. Kingfish, it would have.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Done your heart good to see them sweet little children
come up one by one and put them quarters in
the man's hat.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Yeah, Calhoun, and make you feel good to know there
is men's like that in the world. We look, Calhoun,
I got a problem.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
Well, I just got in, Kingfish. Before we talk, let
me hang my hat up. Heare I guess a couple
of them quarters must have got stuck in my hat, bab.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
I loven't Calhoun, I got a terrible problem. I got
rid of my mother in law. But now south Fire
got a board up there at the house. But he
is loud mouth. He played a saxophone, and he four
times worse than my mother in law. Calhoun, How can
I get this fellow out the house in my mother
in law back?
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Well, now, the first thing to do is find out
his weak point and attack that his weak point.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Well, now, let's see, you got a medicine cabinet full
of stuff. Dad, you're always taking news up springing. So
he's one of them hyperacrobats.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Well out, daddy, angle das you angle, scam out of there,
make him think he was thick, make him think you
got one of them rap tropical diseases and he lied.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah, I'll skill him. Yeah I'll get in it to
help me too.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Yeah, I'll get rid of that board and get my
mother in law back and have peace and quiet again.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Yeah, I know what you mean, because I know what
it is. I'd like to have a musician practicing around
the house all the time. You see, my brother used
to play the symbols in the symphony.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Or is that so? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (21:06):
Man, you just stand up there in the back of
the arger and reading big them big symbals together. One night,
in the middle of the eighteen twelve overture, he bent
over to look at the music and slammed his nose right.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Between the symbols. He retired right then and there. Which
brother is just calhun?
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Oh, you probably see him down at the post office.
