As the Stomach Turns comedy sketch where the late great Tim Conway first introduces his "oldest man" character. (app 15 mins)
When I first saw that skit I was a very young man and wondered . . .
Now I am an old man, and know . . . Time nailed it!
That was my favorite character of his (the slow old man).
I think the best one was where he was working at a dinner as a short-order cook, and Harvey Korman, playing an impatient businessman on a quick break from work, comes in, sits down at the counter, and orders a “quick” meal.

Poor Harvey Korman. He was the perfect straight man but Tim was always going off script and ad libbing. As usual, Korman looses it towards the end of the skit.
