I was a big fan of Paul Lynde. I even took a date to see him in the Kenley production of "The Impossible Yeas" and was able to get his autograph for my girlfriend, backstage. He is buried in a cemetary just down the road from the home of my cousin in Lynde's home town of Mt. Vernon.

I think his funniest Hollywood zinger was to the question: "How much will your sex change operation cost?" His answer: "Don't tell--it's a secret!"

My second favorite was a Lynde and Weaver running gag. When Peter Marshall asked him a question, Lynde said, "How should I know, Beaver face?" Later in that same program, when Peter asked Charlie Weaver a question, Weaver responded, "Go build yourself a dam and leave me alone."

Lynde also had some funny moments as Samantha's uncle on "Bewitched." He first appeared in an early episode as Sam's driving instructor, who was so nervous, his doctor prescribed tranquilizers in large wafer form. When he later appeared as her warlock uncle, he was in a family picture calling, "Help! I've been framed!"

Certainly a funny, funny fellow.
