I don't remember many jokes but this one from gallagher really stayed with me. I still chuckle when I think of it. Warning - Not politically correct. Goes something like this.

I love handicapped people. If it weren't for handicapped people, I'd never find a place to park.

At one time it was considered very unfashionable to like Gallagher, but I thought he was funny.

Yeah, I think in the 80s-90s there was this anti-prop-comic thing that came into full flower with Carrot Top hate. I too liked Gallagher.

Ned Rorem, composer, dead at 99. Read one of his books a long time ago. Set this Hopkins's poem to music:

I'm familiar with him from crossword puzzles. I guess there aren't that many famous Neds.

That's what I thought! One of Shortz' common clues is "Composer Ned".

Irene Cara at 63. She didn't live forever, but none of us do.
