Response to Bill & Bob & Spanish Fly

There's another album of Cosby's from about that same era (I can't remember which one it is) where he talks about I Spy and various filming locations (Greece, Mexico, Japan, etc.). He was trying to remember the name of "an island in Greece where we had to ride this donkey." Try as he might, he couldn't remember the name of Santorini Island. A heckler in the audience suggested maybe he was referring to Coney Island.

Another heckler in the audience made some reference to Culp's long hair, suggesting he should get a haircut. Cosby more or less told him to mind his own business.

He also talked about eating very flavorful food in Mexico but, at the same time, getting deathly sick, and the geishas who romped around with him in the bathtubs in Japan.

Someone in the audience asked him if they ever filmed an episode in Israel. He said, "No. They were busy having a war at the time." (the 1967 Seven Day War)
