A Diller, A Dollar (1955) (continued)

[Mullins, Bill]

Variants from a misspent youth:

> If at first you don't succeed, slide for second.

If at first you don't succeed, suck suck suck til you do succeed.

> You can lead a horse to water,
> But you cannot make him drink.
> You can send a fool to college,
> But you cannot make him think.

You can lead a horticulture [whore to culture]
but you can't make her think.

> April Fool,
> Go to school,
> Tell your teacher,
> She's a fool.

Trick or treat, smell my feet,
Give me something good to eat.

> I made you look,
> I made you look,
> I made you buy a penny book.

....Made you read a story book.

> Fatty, fatty,
> Two by four,
> Swinging on the kitchen door.

....Couldn't get through the bathroom door. (I got in trouble in
elementary school for saying this to a girl).

> My name's West,
> I ain't in this mess.

>From the movie "Pulp Fiction":
"Hey, my name's Paul and this shit's between y'all." (Said by a
character named Paul)
I always assumed it was just some clever dialogue from Quentin
Tarantino, now I'm not so sure.
