She provided many a laugh in my life. The linked article is a very informative about her life. She will be missed but we will still get to enjoy her great sense of humor for years to come.

I remember her when I was a little girl. My parents loved her. A very funny lady!

Mr. Witness

My favorite joke: "I've had so many facelifts, I'm starting to grow a beard."

I've stolen and modified it to "Nancy Pelosi was in an elevator when an intern turned to her and said "nice tits," to which Nancy replied "Those are my kneecaps."

...6 Flags...over Burbank...

I've been to Burbank. A friend lived on Satsuma...


The great Steve Goodman...

Fell asleep last night with the T-V on. Oh, what a dream I had.
I dreamed I answered every single one of those late night mail order ads.
And four to six weeks later, much to my surprise,
The mailman came to my front door, and I couldn't believe my eyes
When he brought the Vegematic, and the Pocket Fisherman too,
Illuminated illustrated history of life,
And Boxcar Willie with a Ginzu knife,
A bamboo steamer, and a Garden Weasel too,
And a tie-dyed, dayglow souvenir shirt from Six Flags Over Burbank....

That guy's fantastic.. saw him in Portland many years ago!

I hope so...he died in '84!

At times funny, others poignant, he was a rare writer. "A Dying Cubs Fan Last Request" combines them...

My favorite Phyllis Diller joke: "Tranquilizers only work if you follow the instructions on the bottle: Keep Away From Children!"
