    After having seen Casper, I really believe that women can look forward
    to having whispered in their ear:
    
    "Can I keep you?"

    well Nancy, we could share with you our collective mating experiences,
    but keep in mind, this is a family notesfile.
    
    My personal favorite is man to a woman in a bar, "Do you use eggs in
    your brownie recipe?"  " I wouldn't know, my husband does all the
    baking"

    Man to Woman: "maybe you could buy me a coffee later."
    
    The beauty of this line is that the male need not feel rejected SHE is
    the one who is buying the coffee. Not only that but she wont get any
    fancy ideas about how much money she could soak you for later.
    
    Once I asked a girl if she "would like to see my lamp, it's a really
    cool lamp." She was floored, she came over but I don't think she ever
    saw the lamp. Too bad it is a cool lamp, still have it as amatter of
    fact.

That reminds me of the NY Graphic, a daily paper of the '20s (?) published by
Bernarr [sic] MacFadden.  It was so racy that its detractors call it the
Pornographic.

    I love "Being There."

    Chauncey Gardner was even my p-name at one time...

    And Shirley McLaine (sp?) is a terrific actress and a great
    performer. An extremely talented woman. A bit flaky in the
    religion department, but I've most definitely heard worse...

    She was also brilliant in "Postcards from the Edge."

    I've always liked the "variant" line from Carl Perkins' "Matchbox"
    (probably better known as a Beatles cover, sung by Ringo):
    
    "If you don't want my peaches, honey, please don't shake my tree"

570.55NOTIME::SACKSGerald Sacks ZKO2-3/N30 DTN:381-2085Thu Nov 02 1995 18:411
The peaches metaphor was used in the '20s and '30s.

       re .53:
       
       The closing scene is indeed where Chance walks away (where others
       might be damp to tread).  During the closing credits, though, they
       show out-takes from a scene where Chance is on a doctor's table
       and tries to relay the message about Ramon (or whoever).  Even if
       it had been a crummy movie (and Being There was far from that), it
       would have been worth sitting through the whole thing just to get
       to the credits.
