Robin Williams

I greatly admired him for his humanity, his good works for the less fortunate, his acting, and his great wit and intellect.

But he never made me laugh. Not once.

I didn't hate him, but he couldn't induce me to laugh, even a little bit.

I wonder what chairs think about all day: "Oh, here comes another asshole."

Now, come on - "I don't care what you say, that's funny" (hat tip to Larry the Cable Guy).

I must a tough sell.

I like Lenny Bruce, Andy Kaufman, Ernic Kovaks but I also didn't laugh.

OTOH, when I was in my teens, Monty Python could make me laugh -- sometimes.
