Comedy Thursday #495.

[pomtzu]

How about Bob Hope and Jack Benny when they got together? And of course George Burns and Gracie Allen. Classics indeed - and the jokes were actually clean!

Anyone for champagne with a strawberry to toast the good old days?

I have seen some modern comics that were good, but I don;t remember their names.

I liked the one woman, years ago, who did a stand-up routine that included something like, "As you can tell, I'm not one of those girly girls. My friend asked me why I don't wear make-up, so I asked how long it took her to get that done each morning. When she said it took her 45 minutes, I said, "See, that's why I don't do it! I need that time to clean my gun!"

Modern day??? - Jeff Dunham the ventriloquist and his trunk full of dummies. Very off-color but absolutely hilarious.

[Pinot's Mom]

Jeff Dunham is a current favorite, however, my all time favorite comedy routine belongs to Bill Cosby. Does anyone remember a 60's album (yes, I said album) called "To Russell My Brother With Whom I Slept"? CLASSIC!! Oh, and Tom Lehrer - no one does it like Tom Lehrer - 'Doing the Vatican Rag'...hysterical.

I love Bill Cosby! You have to see "Bill Cosby Himself" from the 80's, stand up comedy routine. It has been on HBO off and on since then. It is hilarious!

I LOVE Steven Wright!

A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths.

I intend to live forever. So far, so good.

Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.

Babies don't need a vacation, but I still see them at the beach... it pisses me off! I'll go over to a little baby and say 'What are you doing here? You haven't worked a day in your life!'

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

I busted a mirror and got seven years bad luck, but my lawyer thinks he can get me five.

I bought some batteries, but they weren't included.

For my birthday I got a humidifier and a de-humidifier... I put them in the same room and let them fight it out.

I went to a restaurant that serves "breakfast at any time". So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance.
