That was a very important moment in comedy....and arts, for that matter. The Boomers wanted to deconstruct their parents' world, but most of their ways still had the strength of time behind it and great meaning to the young people, for all its stoopit rules.

Yeah,  I thought it was funny too.

 
One day in the far future, I will gather all my great grandkids at my feet. I will then pop in a rare VHS copy of the Best of Letterman.  At that point they too will witness the greatness of Larry "Bud" Melman.

it's important that children learn the value of a warm towel after a long bus trip
