I think he should be remembered for his work for AA.

He might have made me start drinking again.

[chesty_puller]

Well, how many Sassoon crimpers do YOU know?

I was drunk!

[rightwingintelligentsia]

in 30+ degree heat yesterday

Is that Centigrade?

Sorry about your loss.

[Palladin]

His clientele: Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Elizabeth Taylor, Mick Jagger and Madonna.

Think about it. These people had the worst hair in Hollywood. The worst hair anywhere.

I bet he even did Jim Trafficante’s hair.

[JRochelle]

Alas, he just never found the right girl.

[Bigg Red]

You won’t get any cutting remarks from me.

**
And I promise not to get snippy.

[RichInOC]

God bless our old poofs. He knows life would be far more boring without them.

[dighton]

“This was the most unkindest cut of all.”

[Bigg Red]

As I hinted in the first comment, look for one outstanding line.

&&
I got it the first time, I just thought “the line” was perfectly obvious and still not original.

To Lonesome:
Ditto on the line, “Does anyone know who this man is?”

To dighton:
I, too, was confused; I thought you were soliciting wisecracks.

[Bigg Red]

You guys are making me LOL!!

[ArtyFO]

Pillow biter?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Ground rules and assumptions: Default position: Lacking evidence to the contary, assume that the vast majority of freepers “get it”.

British newspapers have turned the obit into an true art form.

For the funniest one I’ve ever read, see Mark Steyn’s obit of Canaan Banana.

I was drunk!

Yeah, but it still should have tipped you off when her babysitter called the police!

[dighton]

Canaan Banana, those were the days. Thanks for a trip down Memory Lane.

Among my favorites, Pamela Nelson-Edwards and companion piece.

[chesty_puller]

Yeah, but it still should have tipped you off when her babysitter called the police!

Whatever, that's all in the past. I raise goats now. Goats won't lie. Sheep are liars.

[billorites]

"Is that Centigrade?"

Yes, over 90 fahrenheit.

Everyone was sweating like crazy.

But it was a funeral with almost 300 people in the church. They couldn't say, "Let's bag Communion and go chill some place more comfortable."

So everyone did their best and got through it.

On an unrelated note: It was presided over by Bishop Gene Robinson of New Hampshire who has come under such criticism and controversy recently.

I've heard him preach before, but not at length like yesterday.

I kinda like the guy. He made a very good impression.

Now I know I've been out in the heat too long. ;-)

[Erasmus]

Hair today, gone tomorrow.

[fieldmarshaldj]

RIP.

[Bigg Red]

...vast majority of freepers “get it”.

Definitely. I frequently mark a thread just because I know that when I go back to it later I will find a lot of clever wise cracks.
