See? I'm not the only one who's seen this.

The "proof" that this incident never happened consists soley of
some fairly superficial research on the part of Snopes. They
located an interview where she says nothing like that happened.
That's it. No one has searched any tapes.

After many decades and hundreds of shows it's quite possible
that an 80+ year old woman might not have had perfect recall.
