Help me find a Burns and Allen bit
Need some help finding something.
A long while ago on one of those "Best of Old Time Radio" type albums I heard a snippet of a Burns and Allen routine, and loved it -- but I can't find it, or remember one of Gracie's comments. Basically it ran (as their bits were wont to do):
George: So, Gracie, I was sorry to hear about your missing brother.
Gracie: (A rather political-sounding rantlett, one sentence, having nothing to do with her missing brother.)
George: Gracie, you gave the wrong answer.
Gracie: No George, that's the right answer. You asked the wrong question.
So, (1) where was that from? I assume it's somewhere in their radio show, and I have some recordings of those. And/or (2) what was it that Gracie said there?
Thanks. Been buggin' me for a while.
