From Wikipedia:

Perhaps the most celebrated example of Johnny being quick-on-his feet was the "Ed Ames tomahawk" incident on April 29, 1965. This was a black-and-white kinescope film clip thankfully saved from the New York years, and typically played every year on the anniversary show. Ames was then playing a Native American on the Daniel Boone TV series, starring Fess Parker. Ames was attempting to demonstrate how to throw a hatchet in the air to hit a target, the outline of a cowboy on a piece of plywood. The throw hit the figure in the upper leg, close enough to the crotch for its up-turned handle to look like an erection, and the audience burst into laughter and applause. Ames instinctively started to go retrieve the hatchet, but Carson smoothly held him back. When the laughter had almost died down, Carson remarked, "I didn't even know you were Jewish!" and the audience burst into applause again.

Someone take pity! This clip is too good to not *save. (Can't do it myself or I would).

Can anyone tell me the resubmit policy? How soon? How often?

Gold Star invocations (save) cannot be executed by silvercord because silvercord is not a Gold Star member - sorry.

Well, I knew that . . . Invoke! Invoke!

Thank you, lucasgreen. That was a great thing you did!

Stop. I'm feeling old enough by posting it. Please, for the love of God . . . Stop!
