Jimmy Durante
From wiki:
For years he signed off his radio and TV shows with "Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are", but he would never divulge who she was. Some speculated it was a "code name" for a current or former lover, some doubted she ever existed. It was not until after his death in 1980 that it was revealed she was, indeed, a real person.
So who was the mystery woman?

Wasn't peanut butter & jelly a favorite sandwich of Elvis?

Ooops, I didn't get that from Wiki, but from imbd.com.
Here is the mystery woman:
quote:
According to the book, "Hollywood Trivia," (Greenwich House, 1984), by David P. Strauss, Jimmy Durante's famous "Mrs. Calabash" sign-off referred to his first wife, Jeanne Olson. Calabash was the name of a Chicago suburb they both liked.
Comic Sonny King, who worked with Durante during his career, stated in an interview that the mysterious "Mrs. Calabash" was indeed Jimmy's late wife Jeanne Olson, but "Calabash" was a reference to Calabasas, California, where she was hospitalized in her later years. She had difficulty in pronouncing the city name, often calling it "Calabash", and it became an inside joke for the Durantes.
So there ya go!

Just to let you all know that with all this talk of peanut butter, before I left to do errands I grabbed a PB sammich to take a long for snack.

Years ago Baskin Robbins tested a ketchup ice cream. It did not sell.

By the way, ketchup (OR catsup) is an abomination of the absolute worse kind.
It is not even allowed in my house; unless I'm having company and I think they may be so misguided as to want some. Then the ketchup (OR catsup) bottle promptly goes home with them when they leave my house.
