OK, now that's some solid, albeit morbid, humor.

You got a laugh in this corner.

thank you, thank you very much.

I was 8 years old and living in Northern NJ, so I don't have any memory of it.

Nine years old, just finished watching CPO Sharkey (a short-lived, but hysterical Don Rickles sitcom), went to take a shower, then the lights went off, and I screamed hysterically, thinking that someone was plotting to kill us all.

Fortunately, my mom, RIP, calmed me down, I came out of the shower, and sweated the night away, as I remember it being the hottest night of the summer.

That was a riot when Carson barged onto the CPO Sharkey set when Rickles broke his cigarette box (wow, that's an anachronism, at least on TV)

I was 7, living in Owosso, Mich., and probably watching CPO Sharkey. I loved that show. And the fact that we've got an attempted CPO Sharkey-jack going.

And I thought I was the only one who remembered that sitcom.

I don't think that show could fly today.
