Usually I'm disappointed, though. The day-to-day stuff seems to consist mainly of premeds discussing problem 3 on the hourly they just got out of, or maybe a brief encounter or two downstairs in the men's room. There was that one time when radioactive gas escaped from the Chem lab and wiped out an entire section of freshman Math students, of course. But I didn't feel that would be an appropriate subject for a humor piece. Math and comedy just...
...life endured in North Viet Nam's Hoa Lo prison by American POWs, in some cases for as long as eight years. Their lot consisted of systematic degradation, maddening isolation and the grinding $ waste of years, punctuated by episodes of ghastly pain. But, presented artlessly, this is not the stuff of compelling drama. There is not enough filth in the corners, not enough ambiguity when the movie shows prisoners resisting the pressure to confess to "war crimes."

...very improbable, stupid stuff, but it is also what physical farce is made of. The Marx Brothers and Charlie Chaplin used to play these sorts of raucous gags, and these days people like the Coen Brothers (Raising Arizona) are among its most skillful practitioners.

In addition, he is the genius behind the Pink Panther...
...YEAR is 1986. God is holding Oral Roberts for ransome. Unless God receives $8 million in unmarked bills in a plain brown paper bag with no coppers and no funny stuff, He swears to strike Oral Roberts down and legally change the names of Roberts` children to Aural, Nasal, and Anal. It is clear that God the terrorist has to be stopped. If not He might start hijacking airplanes...
