Joe E. Ross] He was a very funny guy. Like a lot of guys in the business he loved the ladies. He took a trip to do some club dates in Florida while he was doing
Car 54, Where Are You? (1961). He and a couple of the guys . . . well, Joe E. had a hooker in the car with him. When he got down there . . . he had a soft heart, Joe E, and he invited the hooker to sleep with him. Then his wife walked in on them! "Who's that woman!?" He said, "Oh, uh, she's the maid! She's the maid!" He whispered to her, "Hey, quick--make the bed!"
