R.I.P.

The Joke man himself has passed away. Rodney Dangerfield was 82.
May he find respect in the afterlife.

Here are some quotes from the best joke-teller around.

"With my wife, I don't get no respect. The other night there was a knock on the front door. My wife told me to hide in the closet."

"When I was 3 years old, my parents got a dog. I was jealous of the dog, so they got rid of me."

"I never got girls when I was a kid. One girl told me, 'Come on over, there's nobody home.' I went over. There was nobody home."

"Every time I get in an elevator, the operator says the same thing to me: 'Basement?'"

"When I started in show business, I played one club that was so far out, my act was reviewed in Field and Stream."

"When I was born, I was so ugly that the doctor slapped my mother."

"I tell ya I get no respect from anyone. I bought a cemetery plot. The guy said, 'There goes the neighborhood!'"

"I tell ya when I fly, I don't get no respect. I took one of those cheap flights, no frills. I finished eatin' and had to do the dishes. And I tell ya I got no confidence in the pilot. When he makes a left turn he puts his hand out."
