A World More Quiet and Less Funny

I found out this morning that one of my favorite comics, Richard Jeni,  is dead.      Possible / likely suicide.

If you have never heard of this dude or his act, do yourself a favor and look up some video on comedycentral.com or youtube.    (some bits R-rated / Not Work Safe.) 

On Red Lobster:    "Why is it only a lobster that has to put up with this (being selected from a tank just before dinner)?    You go to a steakhouse, there's no COW tank!"     (followed up by a tearful cow sobbing:   "WHY DON'T YOU HAVE THE LOBSTER???"  Lobster:   "SHUT UP!!!")

On pr0n:   "Every dirty movie should be called what it is:  Stuff That Never Happens To You--EVAR!!"
(singing) "Somewhere, over the rainbow
                  People get sex in the middle of the day for no apparent reason; 
                  If a fat ugly guy can get three women in a hot tub
                  Why, oh why can't I?"

On bilingual airplane announcements:
"OMIGOD, WE'RE CRASHING!!!!"
"Por favor, kiss your ass buenos noches!    Please kiss your ass buenos noches at this time!   We're about to hit a giant Montano!"

Written down, the words don't fully convey the funny.     He deprived us all of the delivery system that was his act.      I hope he is in a less painful, funnier place.

Go check out some video.
