The only thing I can say is that my hand would not have been open.

I'm not sure when it became necessarry to insult everything and everybody in order to be considered a "comedian" but I disagree with that trend. One of the funniest people in comedic history never insulted anyone on stage (his personal life is a different story) but I can honsetly say that I had every Bill Cosby album ever pressed and he NEVER felt the need to insult anyone... EVER.

Don Rickles was the king of the insult and a friend. He would never insult someone's health or spouse unless they were very good friends and it had been discussed and permitted ahead of time. If Don, a truly gentle and shy man, ever felt he really had hurt someone he would be the first to apologize and likely send the insulted party a fruit basket of some candy by way of apology.

So... I'm with you, Will!

As for Chris Rock...

Don't Get Me Started!
