No no, I knew it was a joke, that wasn’t up for debate.
The quality of the bad (good) pun was.
No points for 100 year old Sol Saks who wrote the pilot episode of BEWITCHED and then kicked back and relaxed.
Doubtful points for Madely Pugh Davis 90 year old who once wrote for I LOVE LUCY.
I’ll submit that the Grim Reaper has picked up his game a little lately, but is anyone getting any points?
Certainly a rough week for screenwriters. Kevin Jarre who wrote Glory and Tombstone dies of heart failure at 56.
You don’t like running jokes?

There are some people still alive who can answer this question.
“I left my wallet.”
Last night I dreamt the Pope and Zsa Zsa died.
I don’t have the pontiff, but I was quite excited to get to my computer and find out they are still going strong.
Dammit.
Let’s have a change and celebrate someone not dying. The oldest living Nobel Laureate, Rita Levi-Montalcini, turned 102 on Friday. For anyone interested in learning more about this remarkable woman (and several others) I recommend reading Nobel Prize Women in Science.
