.... And I get lots of things from authorities as I go about my way and the authorities tell me that I should do this, do that, do the other. I should not eat any meat at all, I should be a vegetarian. Another one says I should eat meat. Another one says I only eat two ounces of a certain kind of meat. Another one says drink it out of a bottle and what-have-you. So, on and on and on we go with trying to do the right thing.
This one here (no 4 the authority) essentially says, do the right thing (writes on the board). You know, my mother told me when I started out getting up about this high “If I would always do the right thing, everything would just be wonderful for me.” But I could never find it out. And I’ve been around this world for a long time and I only heard last week what the right thing is (giggles) – I finally heard it.
I was sittin’ one evening with nothing else to do for about 20 minutes and the boob tube was on and some sad lookin’ little lady come on and they made some ballyhoo about what a “wonderful wife” she was – you know, whatever that may mean. And she said, “The reason for that is I always do the right thing – I take Geritol every day.” (laughter) So now I know what the right thing is after all these years – I finally got it figured out. All I got to do is watch the boob tube and I got it. Do the right thing, take Geritol every day. She sounded so sad and beautiful.
