Inspired by the thread on Ethel Merman stories, how 'bout a thread on Tallulah Bankhead stories? My two favorites---- 1)Tallulah was in a bathroom stall and realized, too late, that she was out of toilet paper. She called over to the next stall....Dahling, do you have any extra toilet paper in there? Response---no, I don't. Pause. Dahling, do you have any tissues? Response---no, I'm sorry, I don't. Pause. Dahling, do you have two fives for a ten? 2) In New York City, The Church of St. Mary The Virgin, known due to all the incense, as Smokey Mary's, is in the theater district. Tallulah attended a service on Christmas Eve. Walking in, she looked up at an icon of Jesus on the cross and said..."Smile, dahling, it's your BIRTHday!. "

No, none of that “sorry I don’t” the woman said NO, like she didn’t want to give her any toilet paper. Then Tallulah said “do you have 2 fives for a ten.” OP, I can tell you’re not a New Yorker.
