I thought this was meaningful, touching, and ironic.

WoVeU...thanks for posting that video. I loved it and have shared it with several people. Red Skelton is a distant relative of mine....someone in my family had our geneology traced a few years back and found that out.

He was a very funny man. I own a DVD collection of his show. He had some great characters: Junior (who was famous for his expression, "I Dood It"), Clem Kadiddlehopper, Sheriff Deadeye, boxer Cauliflower McPugg, Willy Lump-Lump, and San Fernando Red.

You're welcome Doss.

Guys like Red, old school comedians, were really creative. Today's comedians lean on shock value, questionable cleanliness, and other things more. And the old stuff is still funny!
