Democracy means that anyone can grow up to be president, and anyone who doesn't grow up can be vice president.

For three days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow but phone calls taper off

I was so naive as a kid I used to sneak behind the barn and do nothing.

If life was fair, Elvis would be alive and all the impersonators would be dead.

Never continue in a job you don't enjoy. If you're happy in what you're doing, you'll like yourself, you'll have inner peace. And if you have that, along with physical health, you will have had more success than you could possibly have imagined.


Anytime four New Yorkers get into a cab together without arguing, a bank robbery has just taken place.

Happiness is your dentist telling you it won't hurt and then having him catch his hand in the drill.

I know a man who gave up smoking, drinking, sex, and rich food. He was healthy right up to the day he killed himself.

People will pay more to be entertained than educated.

:( Johnny Carson. We'll miss you. :(

Indeed...... :(

Wow this thread is depressing

Well, I can't have that!

*pushes you in a vat of mashed potatoes*

*Pushes LG into spuds and walks off.*

Oops, I thought you were talking to me.

No. I was talking about a Johnny that had a full set of limbs, and was somehow LESS threatening because of it. ;)

All true, so, so true. (And I can say I only rememner watching Carson a handful of times, and yet, yes, he is missed.)

:(
:D
(He'd want a smile.)

The strange part of this was that I saw a story that he was still coming up with jokes well into his retirement and he'd send them to David Letterman, who used some of them.

We have lost a true giant of the entertainment industry. Johnny Carson, you are sorely missed. :(

Haha, the joke is on you sir. In 3 hours I am getting new artificial limbs put on. After months of PT I shall be ok, I wanted bionic limbs, but they said that technology doesn't exist yet.

I'm a very meek person you know.

Indeed. Nothing is more non-threadening than artificial limbs. :)

P.S. Congratulations. :)

Your right...*swimming in mashed potatoes and eating it* Can you pass some salt please?

We do need more jokes.

What's the difference between Me and Carson? I'm still alive! :D

... wha? Fine...here's a better one.

Knock, Knock.

Who's There?

Arafat

Arafat Who?

Exactly.



Need some meat in here...LG throw a cow in here would ya. A dead one! ... that's already cooked and um... *gets out, before he regrets something*

Indeed. Nothing is more non-threadening than artificial limbs. :)

P.S. Congratulations. :)

Thanks, wish me luck.

Thanks, wish me luck.

Why? Is there something that could go horribly awry with the limb fitting? Industrial accident? Possessed limbs that go psychotic on their own and mangle random teenagers? :confused:

No just that the ethnic kids around these parts can be mean. I don't want them stealing my limbs, then beating me about the head with them like last time!.

We all will, we all will. Goodbye Johnny. :(

Johnny, Johhny, Johnny, Johnny---Whoops---Johnny----- Whoops-----Johnny, Johhny, Johnny, Johnny.

*closes hands*

If Elvis was still alive he would've ruined his career just like Michael Jackson.

Johnny was a star that let others shine as brightly as he did, if not brighter. He was an enabler, letting others get the laughs, while he became the perfect straight-man for their jokes.

I remember a classic episode, with Jonathon Winters as the first guest...now, for those that don't know him, Mr.Winters was a very funny man, and a lunatic. Johnny let him just ramble, occassionaly throwing in a line or two that Winters could work with. All of a sudden, Robin Williams arrives on the set, unscheduled and unexpected. Carson let Williams and Winters go at it for the rest of the show...nearly 45 minutes of madness. He just sat back, introduced the commercials and laughed his ass off. He let them own HIS show.

I'll be watching my "Best of Johnny Carson" DVD's for the next few days. Rest in peace, Johnny...you will be sorely missed, but always remembered.
