Too bad that today's "comics" feel that in order to be funny, they have to be crass, vulgar, and completely obscene. I recently saw a broadway show called "Goodnight Gracie" about the life of George Burns and Gracie Allen. Listening to this actor say some of the old lines and watch some of the old clips.....I was dying laughing, wife actually tried to stuff a napkin in my mouth to keep it down.

Funniest part was a clip of Burns and Allen where she is hiding under a bed with a book. George asks her why she was under the bed. She said "You told me read Dr. Jekyll and Hyde (hide)." Thought I was going to pass out from laughing.
