Autograph<\/b><\/p>\n
A young couple who had just witnessed a Bill Cosby performance went backstage hoping to get the comedian\u2019s autograph in their newly born son\u2019s baby book. An aide took the book to Cosby, and when it was returned the couple excitedly looked for his signature. They couldn\u2019t find it, and they left the theater disappointed.<\/p>\n
Days later, however, the mother found it on one of the inside pages. Under \u201cBaby\u2019s first sentence\u201d was written \u201cI like Bill Cosby.\u201d<\/p>\n
