I found this on the internet, and the artist ( whoever they are) should get a Color Me Badd CD and a three-layer vegan cake. Let this man rest in peace. Not too many people are funny all the time, but I have never not laughed when he was on SNL or in one of my favorite movies. This guy asked me out once, and he was hot, but then he asked before I could say yes or no. He asked where did I live. Being that I have had a stalker, I froze and said I lived in a van down by the river. He was so hot I almost let my guard down and told him, and when I realized he did not get my Chris Farley references, I thought, what else would he not get about me? Comedy has been there for me when all I had left to do was cry. So that is that, enjoy the art and watch a Chris Farley movie when you do cry watching it is because you can’t stop laughing.

Here is the skit that first aired on SNL.

Also footnote I was beyond sad, and I went to a Chelsea Handler show, so great I went to another one. She inspired the saying about comedy being there for me when all I had left to do was cry because that was all there was left to do for me or see her stand up. And, of course, the countless other comedians, including the late great Chris. So thanks, comics, for drying my tears one joke at a time. I used to be funny.
