Great Rip Taylor story from a poster on Aspecialthing.com (name withheld):
RIP
Corbin Bronson, Bernsin, what’s his name? Anyway, he collects those snow cones that you shake and make it snow in. No one could guess what my secret was.
ACTOR
What was it?
RIP
You have to guess.
ACTOR
Is it about your… [stares at wig] um… [stares at wig] hair?
RIP
No.
ACTOR
About your early career? Where you grew up? Something about your, um, lifestyle?
CASTING DIRECTOR
Rip, come on in.
ACTOR
Before you go in, tell me what your secret is.
RIP
I used to be a page in the Senate.
