You've Never Laughed

Fire Marshall Bill: that’s what I almost called that spoilsport who prevented me from lighting my grandchildren on fire at the birthday the other day. I didn’t because well,  how many people would get the reference to one of Jim Carrey's first characters on the 1980s show “In Living Color produced and largely acted in by the Wayans Brothers with the fabulous Fly Girls providing the beat? These days people's memories are SHORT.Jim Carrey played Fire Marshall Bill by drying out the inside of his lips and tucking them up away from his teeth, then lecturing to pyros like me in this bullying buck-toothed way:[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdR2T6YKAUc]Anyway, a few weeks ago I was waiting for the movie to start at a film festival  a few weeks ago when a young couple behind me started talking. “I just saw this dark  film 'The Ice Storm' with Kevin Kline, and someone said he also did a film called ‘A Fish Called Wanda’  have you ever heard of it?"  “Nope” said the woman and I could not believe my ears; just could not believe that anyone could have missed a film with Jaime Lee Curtis and John Cleese and Michael Palin and if any of you  out there haven’t seen it do me a favor and go to your Netflix queue right now and rectify  the situation because seriously. If you haven't seen "Wanda," seriously….. Dude. … you’ve never really laughed.[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqAJUlSRCwo&feature=related]
