14 ... didn't get Louis ...

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Oh yeah

Too bad experience doesn't always make us wiser.

Only missed the Red Skeleton question.. probably only because I never watched his show.

And I'm not quite 25 yet (damn close...)

So maybe that had *something* to do with it.

Here's a good one... can you remember where it came from?

"Camel cigarettes are recommended by 9 out of 10 doctors. "

same show...

"I'd like THAT one, _____"

What's the show, who's the host and what one was (s)he pointing to? (and what was it, though the questions ARE related).
