Round 6: Funny You Should Ask

[Muhammad Ali, audience members]
I have graciously consented to answer any questions you in the audience may have.
Uh, do you have anything personal against Sonny Liston?
No, he's a nice old man, but he’s got my job.
How do you feel about British colonial gases, Cassius?
Oh, I don't resent it. After all, it was that chap who ran out of petrol.
Mr. Clay, do you really believe you're handsome?
Of course I’m handsome! My face should be considered a national resource. And the Secretary of Interior should appropriate money to preserve my beauty. To preserve Mr. Liston's face, money should be appropriated by the Bureau of Wildlife.
Mr. Clay, will you ever have your own television show?
Yes, I have already been offered my own show. It will be called "The Great Great Show". Not only will I star on the show, but every week I will be my own guest star.
Mr. Clay, what do you dislike most?
People who are stuck on themselves!
Mr. Clay, have you ever been in love?
Not with anyone else. [laughter]
