I used to watch The Ed Sullivan Show when I was a kid and remembered a comedian who wore dual hearing aids. He must have been hard of hearing and his comedy routine was about misconstruing words. The dictionary calls this malapropism* If you are around my age, it's possible you have seen or heard of this guy. His name is Norm Crosby.

A few months ago, I was looking for some of his clips on YouTube but my search was unsuccessful. Today, my search was fruitful. Here's a sample of Norm's funny stuff:

Norm doing a "Celebrity Roast" put on by entertainer Dean Martin:

Later in his career, Norm appeared on a TV show: Life, Love & Laughter




*malapropism: an act or habit of misusing words ridiculously, esp. by the confusion of words that are similar in sound. (dictionary.com)
