Comedian George Wallace walked in to a KFC at 11:00 at night and ordered three buckets of chicken. That’s 72 pieces. The girl behind the counter asks “is that for here or to go?”.
He says, “It’s for here. And you have to stay until I eat every last piece. You ugly bitch!”

It was me. I never forgave him for stealing the geographical location of superior chicken from Maryland.
Don’t get me started on Rye Whisky.

Comedian George Wallace: Hey, waitress, this chicken tastes like S**t!
Waitress: Well done! Have another and see what else you taste!

Ha! you must have a great memory. He must have been ancient when he died, he was already old in that episode taking place in the 1880’s!
