I agree. But wasn't Daffy black? Or did you mean Donald? Or Harvey? Or maybe, just maybe, you meant "Doug", not "Duck". All this discussion about "the Funniest White Man in America" is great, but there are millions of REALLY funny people out there! As Steve Martin says, "People come up to me and say, 'Steve, how can you be so fuckin' funny?' I tell them that if you want to BE funny, you've got to FEEL funny. Me, I put slices of baloney in my shoes, so I FEEL FUNNY." Isn't it funny that some jokes aren't? My vote is for the Pillsbury Doughboy. Now THERE'S a FUNNY, WHITE guy! --Doug (it wasn't supposed to be this long) Ice
