“Good luck, Oleta. Run the board like Sharita did. Knock em out.” “Thanks, Bruce. Okay, Sam, I’m ready.” I’m ready to pass out. Lean on Sam’s arm. Take a deep breath, Oleta. You have no fear. You are Big Willie Dunn’s mother. Sam’ll help you into the chair – the electric chair. He’ll wire you up. Here’s the microphone. What’s this box he’s putting on my back? Dame Judith Anderson was in A Man Called Horse but she’s Australian. Cider House Rules… Who was that? Just take a deep breath and be calm. The countdown. Three, two, one. Now!
“Welcome back to the second half of Picture This, the game show everyone’s watching. I’m Harry Handson and once again, here’s your host Kevin Fields. “Thanks, Very Handsome. By the way, did your wife pick out that tie for you?” The banter about the clothes. We always thought it was so funny. I never thought about the torture the contestant was going through sitting in this chair waiting for them to finish. “So, Oleta Did I say that right. That’s an unusual name.” “Not to me. I’ve heard it all my life.” 6 Liked it Comments (2)
