I TURNED A CORNER ON MY MORNING WALK and there was Johnny Carson, as if he’d been waiting for me. “I thought you were dead,” I told him, a little embarrassed. “No, I had to skip town to avoid my ex-wives who are all after back alimony.” “Geez, Johnny, you’re a wealthy guy. How’d you get behind on your alimony?” Carson’s face took on a disgusted look before he told me that Groucho had the best analogy for having to pay alimony. “It’s like buying hay for a dead horse,” he said. “I guess I can see that,” I said. “How many wives have you had?” Carson asked me. I felt embarrassed again. “I’m still married to my first wife,” I replied. “What’s the point of that?” asked Carson, perplexed. “Well, for one thing,” I told him, feeling a bit superior now, “I’m not having to feed a dead horse.” “Good point,” he said. “And I’m not having to pay lawyers,” I added. “I hear divorce lawyers are the worse sharks in the sea.” “I’ll vouch for that,” said Carson, adding: “My lawyer was swimming in my pool recently and I could see his dorsal fin sticking out of the water.” “How did you end up down here in Florida?” I asked him. “Well, I got a ride out of Nebraska with a guy who said he was coming down here for some tomatoes. I thought he meant women.” We reached the corner where I turn toward home. “I’m going this way,” I said. “Good luck with the ex-wives.” “My lawyer’s trying to convince them that I’m dead,” said Carson as he started across the street. Then he looked over his shoulder at me and said: “If Ed McMahon says ‘Here’s Johnny” one more time, I’ll kill him.”
