Gosh! Can't believe he was that old - can still see him with dark haiir and thick glasses and an even thicker accent! Sad, time passes and you only realize, once in a while, when someone goes who's always been there...in your mind.

Re: Frank Carson.
A fella walks into a pet shop and says: “Give me a wasp.” The shopkeeper replies: “We don’t sell wasps.” He says: “There’s one in the window.”

Re: Frank Carson.
A couple of other gooduns from the great man:-
My wife said to me: “If you won the lottery, would you still love me?” I said: “Of course I would. I’d miss you, but I’d still love you.”
An Irishman's wife gave birth to twins. Her husband demanded to know who the other man was.

I said "Who" as a joke - it said on the news today about his funeral that people were crying and laughing! Frank didn't take himself too seriously apparently? They even had sign in his hearse next to his coffin that said "GAGA!"
