An Anthology of Plays

First off, there are two new reviews up on the Best Bets on DVD site, accessible via the link in the Introduction section of this page: KILLING THEM SOFTLY, an excellent, offbeat crime drama/dark comedy with Brad Pitt, and RIPPER STREET, a British television series; a cop show set in Victorian England shortly after the Jack the Ripper murders. Please take a look.
While wife Sandy had been proofing the proof of my 2nd memoir, LIFE, LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HOLLYWOOD, which she is still doing, I have been preparing an anthology of all ten plays in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS collection. I am currently awaiting the proof copy and, once that is corrected, I will make it available for sale in the not too distant future.
Readers who purchase the anthology will get all ten plays in the collection for the price of four.
Now, here's a joke for you:
Stumpy and his wife Martha went to the state fair every year. Every year
Stumpy would say, "Martha, I'd like to ride in that there airplane."
And every year Martha would say, "I know Stumpy, but that airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."
One year Stumpy and Martha went to the fair and Stumpy said, "Martha,
I'm 71 years old. If I don't ride that airplane this year I may never
get another chance."
Martha replied, "Stumpy, that there airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."
The pilot overheard them and said, "Folks, I'll make you a deal, I'll
take you both up for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride
and not say one word, I won't charge you, but if you say one word it's
ten dollars."
Stumpy and Martha agreed and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of
twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word was heard. He did all
his tricks over again, but still not a word. They landed and the pilot
turned to Stumpy, "By golly, I did everything I could think of to get
you to yell out, but you didn't."
Stumpy replied, "Well, I was gonna say something when Martha fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars."
You have a creative week.
