The Absolute Truth Is The Thing That

I'm A Charming Coward; I Fight With Words.

I Was A Teletype Operator In The Army, So That's Where I Learned To Type. One Day, I Went Downstairs To See If I Could Still Type - I Hadn't Done It For Four Or Five Years After The War. So I Typed Out A Page And I Showed It To My Wife And She Said, "where Did You Get This?" I Said I Wrote It. "you Wrote This?" It Was Something Very Funny. I Went And Wrote Another Page, Another Couple Of Pages, And By The Time I Was Finished I Had 13 Little Short Stories, Humorous Short Stories.

I'm Not A Believer, I Call Myself An Atheist. It Was Man Who Invented God. I Once Wrote That There Are 15 Things I Know About God, And One Is That He Is Allergic To Shellfish. There Are Far Too Many Commandments And You Really Only Need One: Do Not Hurt Anybody.

People Have A Comic Bent Or An Angularity To Their Thinking, And Those Are The People Who Make Jokes. And It's Usually People Who Were In An Environment, When They Were Young, Where Jokes Were At A Premium, Or At Least Considered Important To A Life. My Parents Always Listened To The Comedy Radio Shows, We Went To The Comedy Movies, And My Parents Appreciated Comedy. So Kids Listen And Follow What Their Parents Like.

Id Like To Acknowledge Three People Who Early On Knew Mel Brooks Was One Of The Funniest People In The World: Sid Caesar, Me, And Mel Brooks.
