Cryptoquote Solved – 11/22/22 (55?)

“I grew up with six brothers.  That’s how I learned to dance – waiting for the bathroom.”   —   Bob Hope

(Bob Hope was an American icon!  Yes, I know he was born in England, but he moved to the States when he was five years old, so that makes him an American, in my book.  A funny comedic actor and nearly constant entertainer of our U.S. fighting forces, via the USO.  He loved the USA, and somehow he was able to make it to the ripe old age of 100.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“I have a wonderful make-up crew.  They’re the same people restoring the Statue of Liberty.”   —   Bob Hope

(Even though he was born in London, England . . . who was more American than Bob Hope?!?!  He made 57 tours for the USO, entertaining American troops, over the years.  His family came through Ellis Island when he was 5 years old.  He hosted the Oscars 19 times!  He starred in numerous movies and television specials.  And he was invited to the White House on numerous occasions.  He lived a few months past his 100th birthday!  A great American.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“I grew up with six brothers.  That’s how I learned to dance – waiting for the bathroom.”   —   Bob Hope

(It’s been a while since we’ve had a Bob Hope quote!  I saw him just recently in the ABC\ESPN – part 1 – documentary on O.J. Simpson, on Saturday.  He was such a constant for a big part of my life.  Great deadpan humor!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
