Bob Hope story

THE SUMMER AFTER his junior year at Stanford, John Markus was
introduced to Bob Hope in a backstage trailer at the Ohio State Fair.
But instead of asking Hope to sign an autograph book, Markus handed
the comedian a few pages of carefully typed jokes.

“Not now,” Markus remembers Hope saying. Then Hope paused just long
enough to write his address in Toluca Lake on an envelope. “Stick this
in the mail,” Hope said. “You pay for the stamp.”

Those 20 cents paid off: Hope ended up buying that batch and a second
set of the 19-year-old’s one-liners, which included stabs at Watergate
and Jackie O, for $500.
