Tonight I’m sitting with two friends for coffee. One of them mentions a comedy sketch with Dean Martin and the lovable "drunk" Foster Brooks. Foster is playing an airline pilot.
So, at home I get on YouTube and watch the sketch. Dean Martin can hardly stay away from laughing. The absurdity of the situation, a drunk flying and airplane, is hilarious. I try out another Foster Brooks video — not quite as funny and certainly not wholesome. I guess not all comics are made equal.
One of the recommended comedic sketches on YouTube is "Who’s on First" with Abbott and Costello. I’ve heard this a number of times. Never seen it in video. So my wife joins me and we laugh through the episode. We remark at how adept one must be to keep up the patter of the sketch. And we head to bed with just plain fun running like sugarplums through our minds!!
