Mae West was worth her cup size in quotes

West and Don Ameche appeared on ventriloquist Edgar Bergen's radio show in 1937, and did a sketch as Adam and Eve that was thought to be blasphemous and risque. Then, her sketch with Bergen’s dummy Charlie McCarthy was considered so shocking that she was banned from the airwaves and was not heard again on radio for 31 years. One line that drove the NBC executives to panic when she lewdly used it on the wood dummy was, “Charles, I remember our date, and have the splinters to prove it.”
