Great Captain Kangaroo’s Ghost! A running joke for years in the Treasure House involved one of their frequent animal guests, a poodle that loved to eat carrots. The Captain would invite Mr. Greenjeans to see the carrot-eating poodle. Mr. G would watch the dog munching the crunchy veggie and say, “What I see is a poodle eating carrot.” Little kids across the nation would crack up and begin to understand the humor and elegance of a good play on words.
