Don Rickles (AKA Crap Game in the movie Kelly's Heroes), the great insultamologist passed away this week. He was a WW2 USN veteran, serving on on PT Boat Tender. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1420495941339747 Don Rickles - Wikipedia I'll always remember him best as Crap Game in Kelly's Heroes. That and when he appeared on Rowan & Martin's Laugh In.
"Now you butt out, hustler. The only time you come out of the ground is when you smell a profit." "Oh yeah, well I'm coming out now, because Kelly's got the perfect caper."
He brought hockey puck to the masses. Loved him and his humour...heard Sinatra loved it when Don said : "Frank- make yourself at home and hit somebody." (during a roast). Those Friar Club roasts were the pinnacle of humour in the day. I laughed until tears back then...
