Doctor: Mr Nielsen, I'm afraid I have some bad news about your lung
Leslie Nielsen: Tell me, Doc, what is it?
Doctor: It's the large organ inside your ribcage that oxygenates your blood. But that's not important right now...

Leslie Nielsen has died after a 2 week illness in hospital. When asked what it was, a spokesman said, "It's a big building with lots of patients and doctors, but that's not important right now."

Re: RIP Leslie Nielsen
It's hard to believe that such a funny man, a very gifted clown, had a brother who was a totally humorless Canadian parliamentarian. Eric Nielsen was the member for Yellowknife for many years and was known as "Old Velcro Lips" because of his ability to keep shtum even under intense pressure in The House or from the Press.
RIP.
RIP.

Re: RIP Leslie Nielsen
The last thing he said to me, "Doc," he said, "some time when the crew is up against it, and the breaks are beating the boys, tell them to get out there and give it all they got and win just one for the Zipper. I don't know where I'll be then, Doc," he said, "but I won't smell too good, that's for sure."
