" Cars and money. Everybody wants cars and money.  I did Truth or Consequences for eighteen years. I&amp;#039;ve done Price Is Right for thirty-five years. I did Miss USA and Miss Universe for twenty-one years. I did the Rose Parade for twenty-one years, and I did the Pillsbury Bake-Off for fifteen years. I did the Indianapolis 500 parade for twenty years. I&amp;#039;m a guy who&amp;#039;s kept a job once he got it.  Why should I pay attention to prices? I can&amp;#039;t win. I was married at twenty-one; Dorothy Jo was twenty. She was with me all the time until she died. For some men, maybe a second or third marriage would work out fine. In my case, I had my marriage and she was the love of my life.  We didn&amp;#039;t have time for children. I don&amp;#039;t regret it, not when so many of my friends are having so much trouble with their children. I have thirteen ducks, and that&amp;#039;s a lot of work.  Real men are vegetarians. I don&amp;#039;t think I would have worked as long as I did had I not been a vegetarian.  I&amp;#039;ve never objected to the adulation. When someone approaches me, I am complimented. Everyone in TV and the movies should remember where they would be without those people. Which ditch would they be digging? In all truthfulness, television is at about its lowest ebb right now.  If you&amp;#039;re gonna be a Barker&amp;#039;s Beauty, you must have one thing: You have to look smashing in a swimsuit. There are some young women who have beautiful faces but don&amp;#039;t look good in a swimsuit. We have girls who look beautiful in swimsuits. That&amp;#039;s an impossible question. But the most consistently beautiful women come from South America. During the commercials, it&amp;#039;s always, &amp;quot;Do the line, do the line.&amp;quot; I say, &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t have time,&amp;quot; and they say, &amp;quot;Come on, Bob, you&amp;#039;ve got time! Do the Happy Gilmore line,&amp;quot; and I say, &amp;quot;How much time do we have?&amp;quot; And the producer says, &amp;quot;Four seconds,&amp;quot; and I say, &amp;quot;No way, I can&amp;#039;t say, &amp;#039;The price is right, bitch!&amp;#039; in four seconds,&amp;quot; and right as we go on the air, the crowd screams, &amp;quot;Aaahhhhh!&amp;quot; An overstuffed chair in the shape of Marilyn Monroe&amp;#039;s lips. Where would you put that? And believe it or not, we gave away a plastic submarine that you could actually go underwater with. Someone realized that a contestant could go down in their prize and never be heard from again, so we stopped that. I was humiliated to be charged with something so contemptible as sexual harassment. People think we had this big affair. It was a personal relationship that amounted to very little. I told her that I thought it was a mistake, and she became furious and sued me. She ended up dropping the case.  Stay away from anyone you work with.  I&amp;#039;ve done karate for thirty years. I studied with Chuck Norris. That&amp;#039;s another reason I think I&amp;#039;ve lasted this long.  Almost any man looks better in a dark suit. I am still sexually active. Just not as active as I once was. I think Viagra does help. You should try it. It might surprise you. And your friend.  I look much better with a tan. I&amp;#039;ve been known to tan for three hours at a time -- every day if I could. As a kid in South Dakota, we took our shirts off when school let out and didn&amp;#039;t put them on until school started in the fall. We&amp;#039;d go down to the Antelope Crick -- that&amp;#039;s c-r-i-c-k, not creek -- and we&amp;#039;d dive in without a stitch on. I&amp;#039;d go swimming five or six times a day. I get skin cancers from my misspent life. I go in every three months to get precancerous things removed. But it was all worth it. You know the line. Sure, everyone does. I&amp;#039;ve been told by animal groups that I&amp;#039;ve really made a difference. That means everything.  I don&amp;#039;t try to always get a laugh. I enjoy helping other people be funny. One of the nicest letters I ever got was, after a show, an elderly lady wrote me and told me, &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve never been as funny as I was that day.&amp;quot; That day I earned my money. Change isn&amp;#039;t always good. Sometimes changing things is a terrible mistake. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
