Amazing, because to me he's one of the funniest people of all time. His writing is brilliant. Two short stories that spring to mind are 'Death Knocks' and 'The Schmeed Memoirs,' about Hitler's barber ('I want a light trim and don't take too much off the top'). He even has one short piece called 'My philosophy'; 'Eternal nothingness is ok if you're dressed for it'.

Sorry, but somewhere, something about Woody Allen rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe I just don't appreciate his style of Humor, or his relationship to his mother (fictional?) was too much like my own?

Martin Short is a great actor; he characterisation was very good, but the script was rather unimaginative, unsubtle and not particularly funny.

Check this: still as funny as the day it was broadcast 55 years ago.

There was a BBC TV show 'Good Neighbors' and the one character rarely got the joke but always laughed anyway because, "Those who don't get the Joke, soon become the Butt of it".

Pseudo-intellectuals always claim to like the goons. About as funny as a paper clip.

Btw, the Ronald McDonald interview is from the PETA website. The script is about what McDonalds actually does to chickens.

"I miss you, Moron !" said Lusia Mousky.

A piece of Moron a day keeps depression away.

"No Moron today ?"


Moron is the name of a Swiss cheese, which was available last year.
I kept the label for an American friend to amuse him.
