Gene Wilder, was a funny guy, he had a smile like a sunbeam, he’ll be missed thankfully, we still have his wonderful movies to cheer us up.
This is one of my favourite scenes, it still has me laughing after all those years.

Why?

I KEEP six honest serving-men
(They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who.
I send them over land and sea,
I send them east and west;
But after they have worked for me,
I give them all a rest.
……
But them I put them back to work,
The reason’s clear, you see.
A man who asks no questions
Is prey for the powers that be.
He was a clever chap.
Who?

Scraping the barrel a bit, wot?
For many people, just trying to keep themselves and their family alive is not a joke, but an everyday battle and luck.
Hardly a ‘jokey’ business…
“Doctors say it kills you but they won’t say when”
It crops up in a few old blues songs about various vices.

RIP? Oh, ‘Repent In Perpetuity’!
Ooops, sorry, I was thinking of Karimov!
Aaaahh … I hope that explains your comment at August 30, 2016 at 19:44 too. I was wondering if it was me or Gene Wilder that had upset you.
@ Node – No, it was actually aimed at Craig – the line doesn’t strike me as amusing.
Test. I want my pink back!
Silver grey, rather elegant!
Very Med. Let’s get a little artistic…
