Young Mr. Grace needed to have new eyes or new glasses if he can't tell a woman from a man or even his own employee

He didn't care! He was fixin' to retire...might as well live a little! Besides Humphries looked hotter in stockings than YMG's nurse.

Humphries had more leg than a bucket of chicken! He could've given Tina Turner a run for her money. Literally.

This is one of my favorite post-Grainger episodes.

Love the back and forth between the staff, and I can't believe YMG actually thought Mr. Humphries was a legit woman in that fur coat and wig. LOL.

I hate the bit where Humphries stuffs the bra too full and then winds the scarf too far around and has to tape it. A normal person would unwind the scarf or, better still, put the bra back on. Still, maybe it was funny the first time I wached it...

I love the whole bit with Jan Holden, though - she plays opposite him really well and doesn't let him steal the scene. And she's got nice legs. I especially love the exchange:
"My husband would have a heart attack!"
"Well, it is black..."

And I love the fight between Humphries and Slocome to sell the coat, especially when she first appears and he stumbles in the middle of his walk.
