[78-L] A LAUGHING RECORD THAT IS NOT OKEH

[David Lennick]

The Lowell Thomas blooper is about something that happened at the Hershey 
Chocolate Factory, "with and without nuts". The bedsheet thing may be Taylor 
Grant, not sure..he's the one who blew up when no actualities were available, 
leaving Hugh Downs to break up hysterically while reading a spot praising ABC's 
news coverage.

But the funniest laughing record I know is from one of the blooper 45s or LPs that came out in the '50s.  It featured Lowell Thomas, breaking down in total laughter at hearing about a woman that reportedly could control the aurora borealis by shaking a bed sheet in her backyard.  Thomas giggles, then guffaws, then breaks out in uncontrollable laughter until the end of the show.  The announcer is laughing, too, as he closes off the newscast.  Funny every time I hear it!
