I was lying eyes closed on a SoCal beach some years back (OK, many!) when I heard a VERY familiar voice. I opened my eyes and it was Rodney Dangerfield, actually strolling along the sand in a terrycloth robe, and he was asking people what they thought of various jokes. Sadly, one guy was telling Rodney how great they were, but when Rodney passed up the beach, the guy told his friend he thought the jokes were crap. I don’t remember the jokes but I remember being mad that the guy hadn’t told him his honest opinion.
I saw a Rodney Dangerfield show on my honeymoon in 1997. I was watching The Tonight Show and Rodney mentioned where he’d be performing the following week, when I’d be on my honeymoon in that same city. I surprised my husband (a big fan) with tickets the night of the show. Rodney was hilarious! My ribs hurt from laughing so hard and the jokes never stopped— it was like we couldn’t catch our breath! Which was just like the rest of the honeymoon! Ha! My own poor attempt at humor! When I bring up our honeymoon the first thing the husband remembers— Rodney! But that’s ok, he was great.
