   Even better is a comedy short I saw last year called (I think) Bring on   
   the Girls with Edgar Bergan and Charlie McCarthy, where they're in the   
   balcony at a vaudeville theatre, making comments about the various acts on   
   stage. McCarthy is hilarious (and quite bitchy, a friend of mine   
   commented) throughout the thing.   
      
   At one point a chorus line of rather hefty female dancers comes on stage,   
   and Bergin tells McCarthy he's set him up on a blind date with the largest   
   one, telling him that "she was once Miss America."   
      
   And McCarthy responds "Yes, North *and* South!"
