Don Knotts was old school funny man , just like Jerry Lewis in his days .....he holds the record for most emmy awards won , 5 years in a row for his role on the Andy Griffith show,(just goes to show you how truly talented this dude was) ....he was a funny man who helped make the show what it was while he was on it. He made me laugh ,and that's something i don't do a whole hell of a lot of these days , I also was a fan of Rodney Dangerfield we lost a few years back , he made me laugh.

With a profile like that , IM still trying to figure out just who the jokes on in the first place ? I suppose a lot of things might be aggravating ? Not to put anyway down of course, I've learned over the years that a lot of radio operators are of a handicaped nature. May the good Lord take a liking to you along with anybodies sence of humor that goes along with it. (-: Rest in peace D.K.

Yes, what a funny man, he will truly be missed. Many times have my spirits been lifted from watching the old reruns. Well, I guess there will be no more "Bud nipping" and wonder where that bullet will end up. RIP Mr. Knotts and thanks for the laughs.

I guess he never saw the movie.

 

[Switch Kit]

I saw the movie , so what ? Ones sence of humor pretty much hits the nail on the head. It's not like IM wondering whats really going on here. Some folks have a great way of spelling that out for others without even trying. They even tend to spell it out in links. Good day

 

[Switch Kit]

Your humor avails me Dennis , or maybe it's just your timing with it ? Smoke a bowl ? now IM starting to understand but then again it has been fairly noticeable without you attempting to pass the fat boy my way. Serious ? as I said before , your humor avails me especially when the topic has to do with somebody passing on and your the only one whom seems to think your funny ? It's obvious to me who's been tooting on the pipe around here, (every picture tells a story) but i do thank you for being up front about it from the get go , it hasn't been like I've been waiting for it to happen, it seems as if it happened way before you ever got started. But SERIOUS though , good Luck to you.
