I so enjoy Laugh In now. Where are all my civil Libertarian friends now? (I know, Prolly 70-80 yo. No one listens anymore)

Geraldine frequently mentioned her boyfriend, “Killer,”
who was usually unseen b/c he was “currently incarcerated.”

Sometimes he played “Killer” and in one skit Geraldine’s best friend was checking in on him to make sure he was behaving while Geraldine was out of town, and he made the moves on the best friend, who then told Geraldine that “Killer” was on his best behavior, then they walked off stage arm in arm.

I remember Flip, he was really popular. If he did Geraldine today the DemoMarxistNazis would accuse him of being trans-bias and cancel him

Unlike them, he was really funny. Up there with Roseanne, Robin Williams, Andy Kaufman, Jim Kerry and the other modern greats.

Dressed as a Playboy Bunny, serving Bing Crosby. Now that was funny right there.
