The trifecta is now closed

My latest death trifecta is closed and it was completely unnexpected.

1- Johnny Cochran
2- Terri Schiavo
3- Mitch Hedberg

Mitch Hedberg was a pretty funny comedian who had a lot of one liners and small simple observations. You may have seen him on Comedy Central or heard him on XM Radio. Here are a few of his comments:

- “At my hotel room, my friend once came over and asked to use the phone. I said “Certainly.” He said “Do I have to dial 9?” I said “Yeah, especially if it’s in the number.”

- “I would imagine if you understood Morse Code, a tap dancer would drive you crazy.”

- “In England Smoky the Bear is not the forest fire prevention representative. They have Smacky the Frog. It’s just like a bear, but it’s a frog. I think it’s a better system, I think we should adopt it. Because bears can be mean, but frogs are always cool. Never has there been a frog hopping toward me, and I thought ‘man, I’d better play dead. Here comes that frog…’ You never say here comes that frog in a nervous manner. It’s always optimistic. Hey here comes that frog, al-right. Maybe he’ll come near me so I can pet him, and stick him in a mayonnaise jar, with a stick and a leaf, to recreate what he’s used to. And I’m pretty sure I’d have to punch some holes in the lid, because he’s damn sure used to air. Then I can observe him, and he won’t be doing much in his 16 ounce world.”

- “Swiss cheese is the only cheese you can draw and people know what you’re drawing. It’s the only cheese you can bite and miss. Hey Mitch, does that sandwich have cheese on it? …every now and then.”
