I think there are a lot of things out there that are humorous that people don't realize until you actually show them what is going on. Saran Wrap for one thing. You know, you could pull enough of that out of the box and it will actually kill you. It will get a hold of you, stick to you, and choke you to death.
I was dyslexic - was, still am - 'cause I would see words that weren't there. And people just started laughing, and I thought, well, this is a good way to make a living. I'll just go downtown to read and have people laugh, you know?
I avoid all the language and nudity and violence and everything. I have enough of that at home.
They've been known to enjoy a cat meal now and then, and there are a lot of stray cats out there.
This is not the big bad wolf syndrome. They're an integral part of Pennsylvania right now.

If only my folks had beaten me, I could have gotten some material about my miserable childhood. But as it is, I've had a great life.
When I watch TV, I'm embarrassed by some of what's on.
My career is pretty much over. I'm out in the Valley eating soft-boiled eggs.
People enjoy sitting back knowing they won't hear a lot of four-letter words.
It's hard to be sad when you're laughing, so I enjoy making people happy.
