***** Really!? That is pretty cool. I have always loved his delivery as well as his material. I can still remember the first time that I saw him on TV some 30 years ago. Laughed so hard my eyes watered and my sides hurt, could not understand how some people did not appreciate him. It has been a long time since I saw him, then came you tube. Anyway, hence my remembering the gist of his jokes but forgetting the subtleties.
