"What's your name?" "Mark" "Mark? Sounds like a hare-lipped dog!"

That was Red Skelton at Carnegie Hall.

Red had a running gag where the prop man in the wings was supposed to toss him a chair, a hat, whatever he needed for a mime routine.

Every time, the prop man's toss was short. Red would shake his head or mouth an obscenity, and go get the prop.

Finally, he called out to him:

"What's your name?"

"Mark!"

"Mark?"

"Mark!"

Red turns to the audience: "Sounds like a hare-lipped dog!"

At the end of the show, during his usual pathos-filled benediction, Red said something like, "If there's a moment when you are feeling sad, or not well, and you can remember something I did tonight, and it makes you smile, then my job has been fulfilled."

That's the main thing I remember from that night!

And the Mark joke is almost as funny as Zuckerberg's face.

The nice thing about Fascist Zuckerberg and his FACEBOOK page (which has been accused of spying, treason, and everything else), is that they are SO reasonable.

If you are tired of seeing dozens of idiot FACEBOOK "sponsored" ads on a subject you detest (like ONLINE GAMBLING GAMES), you simply go to a template where somebody has somehow signed you up for seeing ONLINE GAMBLING GAMES, and de-tick every box.

Then you'll see even more of them.

PS, Zuckerberg's wife married him for his looks, not his money.

Her previous boyfriend was a hare-lipped dog.
