Many years ago we had a triceratops as a pet and had to secure the garbage can lids to keep out the renegade stegosaurus that roamed the neighborhood. Ahhh, the good old days of youth. Anyway, there was an event that happened each week. The family gathered around the newfangled television every week and watched all 278 episodes the Carol Burnett show. We'd sit inside our cave on our slate sofa with coconut shell coffee mugs in hand and watch this wonderful variety show.
Carol was funny, but the dude that always stole the show was Tim Conway. He needed Harvey Korman to be in the skit (that's those short comedy things you see today on SNL and MadTV) supposedly as the straight man. Harvey always cracked up and his inability to keep a straight face was part of the fun. This was good, clean fun. No profanity or heavy sexual references were needed to produce warm hilarious results. Here is a great example:
Ashby Rhett Culpepper, III, Esq., Jr., sent this clip. Please keep them coming. This was viewed 8 times in a row and I am still grinning. God in Heaven knows a good laugh can be used around here nowadays.
