Good bye, Tim, and thanks for laughs.

I always wondered how he made it to Ensign.

[BBQToadRibs]

Ah, man. He had a great run though. Thanks for the entertainment, Tim. RIP.

RIP and thanks for all the laughs. He was one of the best.

I don’t even know who the supposed comedians are these days but they’ll never touch the old ones with real class.

Very sad..a legend gone..RIP Tim

Tim Conway and the late Ernest Borgnine both had a second wind in their careers, as the voices of senior citizen superheros Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy on SpongeBob Square Pants. RIP Ensign Parker.

Many Carol Burnett show bloopers on YouTube. Several of them show cast members unable to keep a straight face during Tim Conway’s performance. His dead pan delivery was priceless. RIP

Farewell, Tim. You made a lot of people laugh. And that was a grand thing.

I always wondered how he made it to Ensign.

Or how John Kerry made it to Lieutenant.

“I always wondered how he made it to Ensign”

I’ve run across some real cases who were ensign’s. If it wasn’t for the nobody gets left behind, or the team work ethic instilled on Academy classes there are a lot of would-be officers that would have washed out long before graduation.

There was also this propensity in the military that that has always been something I completely disagree with, and that is Academy grads are often not extended beyond their initial 5-year obligated service, but they are invited to join the reserves. Which means incompetence is rewarded.
