The first Ammianoliner was as usual on his home voicemail:
And the Emmy goes to O.J. Simpson in “Prime Suspect.” Did you steal Carol Channing’s gown. If it fits, you can’t acquit.
Then, the Chronicle’s Leah Garchik writes in her Tuesday column:
Before the arrival of the news that Carol Channing’s stolen dress had been found, Tom Ammiano called to pin the blame on O.J. Simpson. “If the dress fit/then don’t acquit,” he said.
Take your pick.
Personal note to Ammiano: Speak up. It’s hard to get your one liners without redialing. We had to dial several times to get the joke and only got it in full in reading the word “acquit” in the Garchik item.
Personal note to Garchik: You don’t have to wait for Ammiano to call. But to get his Ammianoliner of the day you must call him on his private home phone number. B3
