One of the few people, who was the subject of an internet meme, who deserved his fame, IMO.
One of those rare people, whose laughter makes you laugh when you listen to it.

That’s one I’ve never seen before.
Everybody likes a good laugh once in a while, even if just to see and hear the laughter of others. Michael Jordan and that Boxer who bit somebody’s ear have good laugh Memes.
