I think half the fun is watching people lose. Now if you happen to be a sponsor shopping around for a television show, I have this little package I call "Win or Lose," which I guarantee will attract a lot of people like myself who are tired of watching people win things. Now on this show, the emcee, Rupert Rutherford, who combines both the best and the worst qualities of Arthur Godfrey, Bert Parks and Arlene Francis, will lure onto the stage Mrs. Oswald D. Flunk of Flint, Michigan, who, by scrupulous research, we have learned is a world expert on Shakespeare and the Bible.

It was Jack Broughton," shouts Rupert. "But that was a nice try. You got up to before you lost it all. And everything else." And then -get this, Mannie -we switch to Mrs. Flunk's house live cameras and all.

"There goes the television set." yells Rupert. And a couple of guys come in and carry it off. "And there goes the washing machine that Mrs. Flunk scrimped and saved for three years to buy. And there goes Mi Flunk on the arm of that nice looking blonde.
