Comedian/actor Jackie Mason died today at age 93. I don't think anyone picked him.
Here's a Jackie Mason story told to me by the late Signora V. (I), who witnessed it first-hand: Back in the 1980's, she was sitting in a Manhattan cafe/diner and noticed Jackie Mason sitting in a booth, talking in low tones to an attractive middle-aged woman. She couldn't hear what was being said, but suddenly the woman slapped Mason's face, stood up and loudly proclaimed, "I am not that kind of girl!" before angrily walking out.
R.I.P.
Signor V.
"For me, there's only my wife..."
"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"
"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"
"It was a grass harp... And we listened."
"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"
"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
