  1. Here are a couple of haikus I found on alt.obituaries:

    Barney Fife is gone

    Don Knotts, a comic genius

    Dead at eighty one

    On the passings on Norman Fell, John Ritter & Don Knotts:

    Stanley, Jack, now Ralph

    Come and knock on our tombstones

    ...Three's Company, too.

    I loved Knotts on Andy Griffith - one of the all time great comic characters! Still cracks me up. First saw him on Steve Allen. Never liked Three's Company, but I guess he amused a whole 'nother generation on that.

    R.I.P.

  2. An elderly gentleman, quite well to do, realized that his life was turning down the final stretch, so he summoned the three friends that he trusted the most for some advice: one was a doctor, one a priest, and one an attorney.

    "I've been thinking lately," he said to them, "that perhaps there is something to the ancient Egyptian belief that when we die, we take some things with us to the next world. So, I'm giving each of you an envelope with $1 million in it. At my funeral, I ask each of you to slip it into my casket so that I can use it on my journey to the next world." The three agreed.

    A few weeks later, he was dead. At the funeral, each of the three went up to the casket, and each placed an envelope into the casket. Afterwards, the three were talking, and the doctor couldn't keep it in any longer. "I have a confession," he said. "This year has been quite bad for the clinic. My CAT scan machine broke, and I had to scrape to replace it. I took $80,000 out of the envelope to pay for it."

    As the other two cringed, the priest then added, "I must confess, too. The poor have been especially bad this year, and to provide them with food, I took $120,000 out and used it to feed and clothe them."

    The attorney was beside himself. "I am disgusted. Our friend asked but one thing of each of us, and trusted us with his last request. How could you two break that trust and go against his wishes?"

    The doctor replies, "You expect us to believe that you, an attorney, didn't take anything out of your envelope?"

    "I would never!" replied the attorney. "In that envelope was a personal check for the FULL amount!"

  3. I've had and sold at least a dozen Transitions over the years. The records are made of brittle polystyrene (as opposed to vinyl), and the labels invariably become unglued, sometimes getting lost. I've reglued many of the ones I've had. I've replaced most of my originals with Japanese pressings because the vinyl is so much better, and people are willing to pay crazy money for originals. :crazy:
