On his death bed they asked him where he wanted to be buried. His answer was, “Surprise me.”
I had forgotten that he lived to be 100, and also didn’t realize it has been over 10 years since he died.
Always enjoyed him, his movies, and his show. He touched a lot of lives during his life.
Thought you might enjoy a bit of memory touching. Enjoy and recall a neat comedian.

Bob Hope was a Satanist and was a handler for many sex slaves. Google it
Yup, I’ve read multiple reports regarding his being a handler for mind-programmed women ala MK Ultra, etc. If it comes out of Hollywood, it’s corrupted to the core.
Thank you, Paraclete. We’ve always enjoyed him, also.
Never saw or heard anything from him that made me laugh. I’ve often wondered how he even made it in hollyweird. Even though his sidekick Bing Crosby is from my home town, I was never enamored by him either.
