It Wasn’t Funny. Period.

When I was growing up Bob Barker hosted Truth or Consequences. In this one episode three ladies surrendered their purses to Bob. He chose one item from each and the contestant had to give a reason why she had such a thing in her purse. The catch was that Bob could place any prop within the bag and still she had to convince the studio audience that this random thing did indeed come from her purse. Watching this as a ’tween embarrassed me to no end, as I imagined each purse to be filled with orthodontic elastics and sanitary napkins.
