Bulldozer pushes over burning tree

Just a little humor to start the weekend off right.
Anyway, this is one of the funniest bits I've seen. Falk is just the best...
That was funny. Perfectly clean. No foul language. Today’s comedians have lost that art. What is truly sad is that I believe Falk and Don Rickles are the only ones still alive and Falk has Altzheimer’s.
Ronald Reagan, Dean Martin, Jimmy Stewart, Frank Sinatra, George Burns, & Dom DeLuise — may you all R.I.P. and Thanks for the Memories.
Thanks for posting.
It’s sad to think that, except for Don Rickles, all of them are gone.
The Dean Martin roasts are jewels. We don’t see this kind of entertainment now.
Not so fast!...Peter Falk still wakes up in the morning!
Peter Falk is so damn funny.
He had the best line in Mad Mad Mad Mad World, when Sid Caesar finally breaks out of the hardware store.
“What’s the matter, what happened to you? What was ya, in some kind of initiation?”
The best.
Very sorry. I thought I heard he had passed away last year.
I found this one at that link- Ronald Reagan roasting Sinatra!

Yes he does ... sadly, he is suffering from Alzheimers.
Comedian Shecky Greene told about the time Sinatra saved his life. Shecky said as he was leaving a Las Vegas hotel to go to his car several guys jumped him in the parking lot and started to beat him. They kept beating him with no letup, and he was pretty sure he was going to die, then he heard Frank say “Ok, that’s enough”.
All the same exact thoughts I was having while watching. As funny as that was, it brought tears to my eyes because those days are gone. There is no way any of today's so called "commedians" (except maybe Cosby) could hold a candle to the great entertainers of those days. And they were entertainers...with class. Notice they are all well-groomed and well-dressed. Not like today's performers who are mostly just wiseguys, who curse a blue streak, dress like hoodlems, or the women who are so vulgar you could throw up. The entertainers of the past perfected their ART. How I miss all of them.
Look for the ones with Foster Brooks doing the roasts....I still get tears in my eyes laughing so hard!
Falk is in end stage alzheimers, sad to say.
