“A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It's jolted by every pebble on the road.”

When I was just a kid in high school many years ago almost everyone watched the Dean Martin Roasts. They would "roast" a guest for about one hour. I vividly recall sitting in the living room with my dad watching this particular roast of Don Rickles, when Foster Brooks came on. We were both laughing our butts off. However, Foster faded from view because of the change in public sensitivity concerning alcoholism and drunk driving. Brooks continued his career on television doing more sober characters. He died in 2001 at age 89.
