Poignant joke re Robin Williams.

A man goes to doctor. He says he's depressed and life seems harsh and cruel. He says "Doc, I feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain". Doctor says "The treatment is simple. The great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears and says "But Doctor... I am Pagliacci."

He turned on the light for everybody else, he just couldn't turn it on for himself....That my friends is the ultimate prison. I feel so bad, my life is forever altered because of all that he was. You must be in a better place now Robin....Good for you. You are and will be forever missed. That is the understatement of the world when it's said about you my friend.
