Anyone have any good resources for this sort of old-time humor that doesn’t seem to exist any more? I caught a cabaret show not too long ago and they had a bunch of throwaway lines like:
“My husband last night jumped out of the 13th story window”
“Didn’t he know that’s unlucky?”
One I read recently in another thread:
“Your father has a new job, he’s got 500 men under him. He cuts the grass at the cemetary.”
Hell, I’m not even sure I know what to call this form of humor (and damned if I can think of any more examples), but it sure is funny…
Anyone know any books/sites/films to watch?
