always leave them laughing

Legend has it that Milton has had a long-standing bet that his phallus was bigger than anyone else’s. Numerous times, he would venture down to the locker room at the Friar’s Club with a challenger, always returning with all the money. When asked, “Jeez, how big IS it Milton?” He is said to have replied, “I’ll never tell, I just take out enough to win.”

Oddly enough, I just caught part of It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World on cable this past weekend, which is probably the only film I could name starring Milton Berle, despite the fact his filmography lists more than 50 credits. I remember as a kid watching the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts on NBC and Berle always cracked me up, and I’m sure at that age I didn’t even get half the jokes.

RIP, Mr. Television.
