Yeah, I remember the first time I heard it as part of that Ziegfeld Follies of 1945 movie sequel that showcased talents of entertainers that the ghost of Ziegfeld said he would have showcased in his shows. Red Skelton was the one that did it. Come to think of it, wasn’t he Ish Kabibble on radio?

So the joke was old even when Ish Kabibble told it?

A year late, but Ish Kabibble was on radio with Kay Kyser and his Kollege of Musical Knowledge, and played trumpet in the band.
