Don't forget that jewish guy who suggested it would be good to be nice to each other.
That didn't end well.

My favourite:

We have to get this man to a hospital.

A hospital? What is it?

It's a large building with doctors and nurses but that's not important right now.

Man...all these stars dropping like flies lately...Hendrix, Elvis, Deforrest Kelly, and now Leslie Nielsen....d@mn...sad ;)

Strange, how some individuals, we accept it when we hear it, the news they're gone.

Others, it does not "stick".

But I like to tune out, go on vacation and one of the troubles is, schidt happens and you do not know.

I had one guy I'd been in business with for years, who I'd remained in contact with, die over a Christmas break while I was away in California. The wake, the funeral, the burial were long over before I got back to town and no one realized I was not in the loop. Awful feeling, finding out by accident almost 2 months later.

No he's down in Mexico making compilation records with Michael Jackson.

Don't feel to bad. I wasn't aware that Rory Gallagher and Hughie Thomasson had died until several years afterwards. I felt extremely bad about it because I have been a major fan of both men since the 70's. I liked Leslie Nielson, too.
