Mary Livingstone was an American radio comedian and actress. She was the wife and radio partner of comedian Jack Benny. One famous "gag" was the "chiss sweeze sandwich" order during a lunch counter sketch - which was referred to for several years afterwards. Another was when the show's guest, the real-life Beverly Hills police chief, was talking about the strange call the department got the night before: two skunks fighting on someone's lawn. "And let me tell you," he said, "when they were done, did that grass reek!" Mary then took great satisfaction out of making Jack admit to the millions of listeners that "grass reek" did exist ("...Boy did that grease rack!" "That's "grass reek!"" "Well make up your mind!").
