Now serving at the Bob Hope cafe:
(1) In-‘N’-Out burger (consumed today) (2) milkshake (consumed today) (3) leg of lamb (consumed Monday — night) (4) mashed potatoes (consumed Monday — night) (5) spinach (consumed Monday — night) (6) lemon meringue pie (consumed Monday — night) (7) eggs (consumed Monday — day) (8) butterscotch candy (Monday — day) (9) oatmeal (consumed — weekend)
Presumably all this stuff is good for a 97-year-old man recovering from gastrointestinal bleeding. And, presumably, it’s working.
Doctors at Eisenhower Regional Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, Calif., say the comic should go home by Thursday, or one week after he checked in.
On the downside, of course, if Hope is discharged early Thursday, he’ll miss dinner.
