Doctor Livingstone, I presume

[Wilson Gray]

Back in radio days, in an episode of the The Jack Benny Show, when his
wife was asked who her father was, she replied,

"Dr. Livingston, I presume."


For those so young as to be unaware that Jack Benny was ever on the
radio, his wife's (stage-)name was "Mary Livingston."
