If you are too young to remember Bob Hope, ask your grandparents!  The comedian with the rapid-fire jokes was an original and a humanitarian who entertained troops near the front lines during wartimes.   Here are samplers of his humor and style.  

ON PRESIDENTS: “I have performed for 12 presidents and entertained only 6.” 

ON HIS SIX BROTHERS: “That’s how I learned to dance.  Waiting for the bathroom.” 

ON WHY HE CHOSE SHOWBIZ FOR HIS CAREER:  “When I was born, the doctor said to my mother, ‘Congratulations.  You have an eight-pound ham’.”
