And now live from Level 5 productions on the Island of Miloronia, it's the Larry Miller Show. The Good evening Mr. and Mrs. and Mrs. America and everyone who always wanted to play Santa Claus. but in a way aren't we all? And boy, is it ever beautiful here?

It's just great to be back where on Miller Ronea and me and the Colonel

and, uh, well, our doggies on the floor

here of the studio, actually one of them. our doggies on the floor

of the studio?

Actually one of them is I can't see the other one.

But she's off and just relaxing or killing something, but you know what for her that's relaxing and in any case

it's just beautiful here and a great day I feel so calm and terrific and rested on Miloronia.

And well, I admit, the music here for the show helps that I love it.

Colonel Jeff loves it.

And of course, that's the Walter Mathau Orchestra and the

Roberta, not Roberta in 2a dancers featuring Boy Tenor Don Riley asking the musical question,

How come the teacher says write this down,

but a cop writes you up?

Good one, Don. Smart and funny. Yeah, write you up, write you down, write this down.

Now is it because your notebook in classes on your desk or below you so technically you write things

down but even though the cop is standing and you're in your car he's still looking

down at his pad when he writes you up and

folks I'll be honest well I'm always honest with you and but neither I nor Colonel Jeff knows where right you up comes from.

I looked it up, hey there's another up, I looked it up on the internet but it didn't

have anything clarifying there. I know the phrase

rile me up but I don't know where that comes from either. It's a dandy question
