xx-xx-xx Ladies Lunch Mix-up

Sade and several friends dine out for lunch, each paying for their own meal.  But when the food arrives, each of the ladies begin to crave what the other is having and begin to trade food with each other, thoroughly confusing the checks and spondulicks, the ladies themsleves and probably the waiter as well.

________________

While not exactly like it, this synopsis immediately reminded me of the restaurant scene from the television show, I Love Lucy in the episode titled, "Lucy Changes Her Mind" from 1953. Below is the scene I am thinking about:


This episode synopsis was given via the Mercury-Advance newspaper in 1973. The names given in the article can be taken with a grain of salt.

No date or title was given in the article, so I left the date blank and assigned the title myself, purely for the sake of identification purposes.

4x-xx-xx Uncle Fletcher Wants a Family Reunion

STARRING: BERNARDINE FLYNN, CLARENCE HARTZELL AND BILL IDELSON

Uncle Fletcher tries to talk Sade into having a family reunion that involves just their side of the family.  Sade doesn't think this would work at all, because she doesn't think Vic would go for it.

_____________

There are times when Vic and Uncle Fletcher do not get along perfectly.  That's not to say there is a problem between them but Vic likes to sidetrack Fletcher when his stories are a bit off-kilter.  Fletcher is very unappreciative of this.

Vic has never shown any affection for any member of Sade's family -- with the exception of Fletcher.  I have no doubt he would not enjoy spending time with Sade and Fletcher's side of the family in an all-day event; as a matter of fact, I agree with Sade completely.

NOTE: This episode is suspect; it's synopsis was taken from the book, Buried Caesars, written by Stuart M. Kaminsky.  This book is a Toby Peters Mystery.  In many of his his books, he often puts in synopsis' of Vic and Sade's radio programs.

This particular one was chosen because in all of the other titles in the mystery series listed in Google Books, they were all known to me and deemed to be true and this particular synopsis was not one I had seen or heard of before;  I feel since the others were true and mostly* correct, then this one probably is as well. However, I caution you to take it at face value.

The date is approximate but we know it had to have taken place after Uncle Fletcher arrived on the scene, sometime after 1940.

The title is one I made up for identification purposes only.

* One of the synopsis' had the wrong name for Mr. Gumpox and Kaminsky confused this episode slightly by writing that Gumpox had two different colored eyes.  Also, Gumpox was confused for the mailman rather than the garbage man.

42-04-20 Gravy Boat / Pickle and Olive Shoe Poem

STARRING: ART VAN HARVEY, BERNARDINE FLYNN AND BILL IDELSON

Sade writes a poem that she sends to the newspaper about her broken gravy boat; it's word-for-word the same (replacing 'gravy boat' for 'pickle and olive shoe') as the poem she wrote in 1941 about her broken pickle and olive shoe. Remember that incident? {{{HEAR}}} (from 41-05-xx 14 Days in Grovelman, South Carolina.)

The beginning of the olive and pickle shoe poem goes this way:

I am an olive and pickle shoe,

Sitting on your table.

Help yourself to all you want,

Your...

____________________

The pickle and olive shoe breakage is serious, serious business to Sade.

This synopsis may not be 100% accurate.

The transcription disc for this episode survived but was either sold to Radio Spirits in the 1970's or was donated to the Library of Congress. (That might mean that we may never hear this episode.)

However, 30 seconds or so of the episode remains, although it's not in good shape.
