Hi Ivor----Thanks for the note. With just the shear volume of one liners Bob
used over the years I'd bet he had a legion of writers in his employ. Much
like a master potter who adds the brush strokes of slip on a freshly thrown
pot produced by his employees.
Best regards

Dear Jon Pacini,
You say of Bob Hope,....."Bob knew his jokes; he had hundreds of
thousands of them on file. As a wordsmith he was an unsurpassed
Craftsman"......
I recall it being said during a documentary on the life of Bob Hope, a
Comedian I admire immensely, that he employed a school of gag writers,
ten or more of them. As a comedian, his creativity (Craft talent if
you wish!) was his ability to manipulate the timing of his delivery.
This was especially true of his classic "One Liners".
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis.
