dang khoa i’m going to explain the shop to you but I need you to unclear you mind of other things. The reason why it’s funny it’s because well explaining that the two people are hidden behind the trees he says that the chorus starts playing, he says that nobody knows why signifying that and not the musicians not the composer not even the actors, this is because Mozart was the only one that knew why and that very moment the chorus was playing but for the people remaking the scene, they were just doing what was on the script. So when he says that Mozart is the only one that knows what was going on but he’s dead it’s just a matter of fact joke and there is no punchline, it’s just unexpected

What can one say about Victor Borge that hasn't already been said. Over many, many years I've kept my collection of Victor Borge recordings, VHS tapes, now CDs etc. Mr Borge has always been there for me whenever I feel down or a little blue... he always reminds me that this is what real entertainment is all about; well-practiced but always seeming fresh and immediate. Never a swear word or risqué dialogue; just pure talent for comedy, talent in timing and scripting. Above all of that Mr Borge was a true musical genius. He could make one cry with laughter or induce the most sentimental of tears when he occasionally, played some of his 'serious' material. Thanks to uploads from people like you, Mr Borge will be around for countless generations and be enjoyed and admired for a lifetime of making people laugh and be happy. Thank you. BH

Jesus loves you. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. Revelation 22:16 ✝🌅 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 ✝🌅 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. Acts 10:43 ✝🌅
