Grass Reek: Does anyone know what the joke was SUPPOSED 2 be

[bboswell]

Does anyone know what the "Grass Reek" joke was SUPPOSED to be? It was at the very end of the show, (What writers call a "Gag Tag,") which could be dropped if the timing of the (live) show was running long.
After Mary's flub, the audience was laughing so hard and long, that eventually Jack improvised a joke about Mary going back to the May Company, and then said, "Goodnight folks, we're a little crazy." Then they went off the air, while the audience was still laughing. Of course Mary's flub was so funny it dwarfed whatever the joke was supposed to have been, but my curiosity is aroused. Since it was a question about his car, was it a "Maxwell" joke? Was it a reference to something else earlier in the show? Was it something about Amos & Andy, his guests for that night's show?

The set up was something like:
Mary: "Jack, there's one thing I don't understand. How could you possibly have hit his car when it was up on the _grease rack_?" But, of course she accidentally said "Grass Reek" which put this show in radio history.

I noticed that LL mentioned pulling up a script from a certain show (in another thread.) If someone has a script for this particular show, would the final gag be in it? If so, does anyone happen to have a script for this show?

I finally have my answer! I posted this message nearly nine years ago, but my quest began LONG before that!

The December 1950 volume was missing from the Tobacco Documents website, and there seemed to be no one who could answer my question... until I discovered that George Balzer's collection of Benny scripts were donated to the special collection library at Notre Dame University. https://rbsc.library.nd.edu/finding_aid ... s65h991f9h The curator there was very helpful, and I was able to find my answer. Here is a .jpg image of a scan of the script.

After years of wondering and searching, the joke is a little anti-climactic, but at least I can sleep well tonight!

MARY: ...how could you possibly have hit his car while it was up on the grease rack?
JACK: Oh, I don't know, Mary, but I got Rochester, so I was just lucky, I guess...Goodnight folks.

The grease rack gag was a BIG part of the script... It's a great show and you should listen to it if you can!
