On a media column and a joke

This is from The Wall Street Journal recently from a namesake entertainer. I thought Farley was really funny, but his real life seemed to be tragically and self-destructively sad:

“I’m the real Chris Farley.

No, I’m not the dead guy from ‘Saturday Night Live.’ I don’t live in ‘a van down by the river,’ the catchphrase from that other Farley’s breakout ‘SNL’ sketch. I’ve never danced shirtless with Patrick Swayze, something the other Farley famously did on ‘SNL’ in 1990 and which helped put him on the comedy map.”

I have said in a previous post that I liked Farley a lot, but you have to be careful with his brand of self-deprecatory humor because it can become self-destructive. Have to watch for it myself.

Two jokes

“Vaccine” by yours truly

Va-nessa (-accine) has been a bit seen. You know what I mean. Don’t be to her mean. Don’t make a mess-a.
