Only $62.50 – Dave Barry tells a joke about when he was hospitalized and Jack Benny came to see him …
“A couple of weeks ago I wasn’t feeling well, and I was in a hospital. Some of the biggest name comedians came to see me — Jerry Lewis, and Milton Berle, and Bob Hope, and even Jack Benny. And there’s one of the sweetest guys I’ve ever met in my life. Do you know he brought me a basket of fruit and flowers, must have cost at least one hundred dollars.
And he let me have it for only $62.50.”
Told by Dave Barry on the “Just for Laffs” television pilot.
