Happy 90th Birthday to Bob Elliot (father of Chris Elliot) and half of one of the greatest comedy teams ever, Bob and Ray.
Here is a link to a New Yorker Magazine Profile which in turn contains a link to a site with recordings of many of their great bits.

A couple of weeks ago I donated platelets for the first time after years of donating whole blood and plasma. Everything seemed to go just fine until today. I got call asking if I could donate platelets again and the the person leaving the message said, "No, wait there was a problem with the platelets, could you donate whole blood or plasma instead."
That was it. There was no explanation of what the "problem" was. The woman just left me hanging. Come on, you can't leave a message like that without explaining the nature of the "problem."
I shot the Blood Source an E-mail and got a quick response saying that my platelet count was in the normal range, but just too low for donating on their current machines. Fine, in the future you could tell me that right up front instead of leaving me hanging.
Happy 70th Birthday!

When I was a very little guy my father woke me one night and sat me in front of the TV during the Jack Parr show. When I asked why he said, "Jonathan Winters is coming on next and I want you to see the funniest man in the world."
I lost my dad many years ago and today we all lost the funniest man in the world.
This small shop is closing down and the employees are not the only ones left out in the cold.
A paralegal I know was working through a stack of medical records. There was a section for types of exercise. One of the exercise categories was "Run."
The answer provided by the patient appeared to say, "No Way, I'm Irish."
Upon closer examination the entry was in fact, "No Way, I wish."
Perhaps this is a leap year event.
