Bette Davis and Tallulah Bankhead were hiking in the hills over Palm Springs one day when a rattlesnake jumped out of the brush and bit Tallulah right on her snatch. She fell to the ground writhing in agony and begged Bette to run for a doctor. Bette walked into town, found a doctor and described the problem. The doctor said the only way to save her friend would be to suck the venom out with her mouth, otherwise she would die within hours. Bette returned and the frantic Talu asked" What did the doctor say"? Replied Bette" "He said you're gonna die". Edited by Erna, Aug 10 2017, 12:51 PM.

I heard that story/joke back in 1973 as told by the swishiest kween in San Francisco. He had dozens of Bette, Joan, Tallulah stories told with impersonation voices, hand gestures and relish. He was so funny. He also did Sofie Tucker stories. When I worked at the I Beam and End-up bars, he'd come in with his entourage; all as flamboyant as himself. As Archie would say..... Those were the days. |
