RIP Rodney
Sadly, Rodney Dangerfield passed away today at the age of 82. That SOB could always make me laugh.

Sad news, he was one of my all time favorites. I was going to post a joke in here but I'll wait 'till morning.

I never thought he was funny, but I'm sorry he's dead.
RIP

The "Triple Lindy" dive he did in "Back To School" cracks me up every time.
RIP Rodney

RIP. A great comedian. I still crack up from the same lines I've heard a million times. Caddyshack was his finest performance, I think, although there were many others.

Couldn't Agree More about Caddyshack. He has always been one of my favorite comedians (Much to the Dismay of My Mother)

A sampling of comedian Rodney Dangerfield (news)'s one-liners:
Reuters Slideshow: Comic Rodney Dangerfield Dies
Oct. 5, 2004, Joke of the Day on Dangerfield's Web site:
"I tell ya I get no respect from anyone. I bought a cemetery plot. The guy said, 'There goes the neighborhood!'"
___
"When I was born, I was so ugly that the doctor slapped my mother."
___
"When I started in show business, I played one club that was so far out, my act was reviewed in Field and Stream."
___
"Every time I get in an elevator, the operator says the same thing to me: `Basement?'"
___
"When my parents got divorced, there was a custody fight over me. ... and no one showed up."
___
"I never got girls when I was a kid. One girl told me, `Come on over, there's nobody home.' I went over. There was nobody home."
___
"When I was 3 years old, my parents got a dog. I was jealous of the dog, so they got rid of me."
___
"When we got married, the first thing my wife did was put everything under both names — hers and her mother's."
___
"With my wife, I don't get no respect. The other night there was a knock on the front door. My wife told me to hide in the closet."
___
"With my wife, I get no respect. I fell asleep with a cigarette in my hand. She lit it."
Doc
RIP
