    Late night thought:

    What the world needs now is a good laugh from real comedians. Remember funny guys like Don Rickles, Jonathan Winters, Rich Little, Tim Conway, Johnny Carson, BobHope, George Burns, Harvey Korman, and Rodney Dangerfield? Let's not forget the ladies like Phyllis Diller, Carol Burnett, and Joan Rivers too.

    I never imagined the world would be like it is today: full of snide, bitter people who can't see past the end of their noses.

    They were all pretty funny. Sadly, from that list, I think that Carol is
    the only one still alive. :(

    Comedy has always been somewhat about poking fun at others... most of the
    folks you listed above (maybe all) knew where the boundary between funny
    and "too far" was and respected it. Now we have a lot of folks who like to play on the other side of the boundary and then wonder why it finally
    catches up to them.
