Dropsy is way funnier. Your ex-head-writer had manure for his brains.

Gosh, thanks, you guys. I’m especially gratified by the reaction to “the dropsy.” A coupla years ago, I was co-writing a sketch comedy show, and I needed a funny disease, and I used “dropsy,” but the guy I was co-writing it with changed it to “distemper.” And I was pissed! Dropsy was way funnier! But then, this other guy, he was the ‘head writer,’ and at the same time the two of us were sort of competitive; throughout our (now long-deceased) collaboration, he would change my material, for reasons that I frequently suspected were just petty changing-it-because-he-could. The obvious moral: Never collaborate under these conditions.

This may be my favorite, and I think that is saying something.

Gee, birthday greetings are everywhere today! Thanks!

I laughed out loud at the cartoon. It’s a coincidence it’s showing up on my “big” day, but it is strangely appropriate. I’m feeling my age, and fear the dropsy is just around the corner. Not Death, though. He’ll get a face-slap if he tries to join me in the shower.

“That, or you die. … Of dropsy.”

I’m laughing too hard to be coherent.

This is really, morbidly funny. I love the one with the bagpipe the best. That and “the dropsy.”
