Noid Trebog. You sir have no sense of humor or class. Rita Rudner is a legend in the comedy business. Look her up!

[@B-and-O-Operator-Fairmont]

No cringe, no fail - funny as always! So what if the humor is just a little dark, it is clean and funny. I could have done without the :50 second intro, though.

That ship has probably sailed, sadly, due to her age. She surely could've written for/acted in a very successful sitcom 20 yrs ago ala 'Seinfeld' or 'King of Queens'. But, imo, girlfriend's still got it!!

Hey, humor is subjective. I have seen most of these and I think this one's the funniest. Although Jim Breuer's Sears story is a very close second.
