RIP...I honestly thought she died about 20 years ago.
This was last week.
RIP...
I wasn’t a fan, but she was a trailblazer and she sure as heck hung in there quite a while.
Rest In Peace.
I wonder when she gave up smoking?
I didn’t know she was... Well, anyways, RIP.
“I was born at home on newspapers ... I still have a story on my butt, although now the print is much larger.” -PHYLLIS DILLER, Like a Lampshade in a Whorehouse
I remember seeing Phyllis Diller guest on an old replay of Groucho Marx’ “You Get Your Life” from the early 1950s. She was a quiet, demure starlet at the time.
She took pride in being named to Mr. Blackwell’s worst dressed list. One year she did not make the list. She called up Mr. Blackwell and said “Blackwell, where did I go right?”
God speed fair lady!

My mom is 84 and has been falling recently. It has me worried. I don’t know what the heck it is.
Requiescat in pace....
Thanks for all the laughs.
R.I.P.
She was a funny funny lady. More often than not, her jokes criticized her self rather than others. She was brilliant on the Dean Martin Roasts. Someone else posted “they don’t make comedians like her anymore”. They are right. Most comedians have to become vulgar to get a laugh. Not those old timers. They had talent.
Isn’t it ironic that the passing of someone who brought so much laughter to so many now brings tears to so many eyes...
RIP.
BTW ladies, Fang is now back in the dating pool.
