In another funny sketch from The Carol Burnett Show, Carol Burnett questions the legitimacy and authenticity of Harvey Korman’s injury.

Human beings are not perfect in any way, shape or form. Everyone has their imperfections and flaws. Mistakes and accidents are bound to happen. They are simply an everyday part of life, especially when it comes to the road. Sometimes, they can be as run-of-the-mill and innocuous as a fender bender, or they can be much more severe, resulting in fatalities.

While mistakes will still be made, driving requires our full attention (put those cell phones down!). It’s always best to be honest and forthright when motor vehicle accidents happen. Nevertheless, as the hilarious clip shows, someone will always try to take advantage of the situation.

In the sketch, Carol and Harvey play two people involved in an unfortunate motor vehicle accident. Carol is a woman who backed over Harvey, causing him extensive injuries, including paralysis. But as the sketch begins, we learn that Harvey is nothing but a conman looking to scam his way to thousands of dollars.

Moments into the clip, Carol enters the room, and she is emotionally a mess, broken up about the pain and suffering she has caused Harvey. However, the placement of a telephone helps Carol realize that Harvey is not nearly as injured as he professes.

Carol devises some ingenious and hilarious ways to get Harvey to reveal his scam. But as with every Carol Burnett Show sketch, you can never quite guess how it will end.

Carol, after faking her death, startles Harvey, sending him backward onto a coffee table, complete with a loud, painful crunching sound. It appears that Harvey may now actually be injured this time.

Honesty really is the best policy, even when others may try to lie, cheat and scheme their way to some easy, fast money.

Proverbs 17:22 “A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.”
