He said he was born in 1939, but census records (and his daughter) say he was born in 1933. So your beloved comedian was a liar.
He tried out ranch hand, surveyor, railroad worker, lumberjack, rodeo cowboy, stuntman, and radio disk jockey before he landed on poetry. We can't figure out if he did it FOR the girls or because he HATED girls.
