    He uses simple words, easy to follow, and flat-out kills. Timing, personality, voice -- this man had it all. RIP John!

    Saw him live in Saskatoon, felt bad for my sister, she was front row centre, and almost died from lack of oxygen from laughing so hard. Once she started laughing, he zeroed in on her, and was relentless!

    2:05... "Can you imagine if a Russian citizen walked into one of our supermarkets?"...
    True story - I'm now retired from a Sheriff's department in a county of about 900,000 population. In the late 1980s, perestroika was in full bloom. Our State Department was encouraging professional exchange between similar government agencies in Russia. A deputy who worked for me had family in Russia, and actually had a doctorate in some Russian discipline. He arranged an exchange between our department and a law enforcement agency in Russia. When their officers (All command staff, mind you.) came to the U.S. we showed them our criminal justice system along with as much of our culture as we had time for. The three areas that amazed them most were Disneyland, the sponsor's homes, and the supermarkets. They thought that the average working person in the U.S. lives in a castle. And anytime one of the sponsors' family members went to the store, they wanted to go with them and just look at all of the food. One of them commented that there was more cheese in one of our supermarkets than there was in their entire home city (A city of two or three hundred thousand as I recall.) On their last day before going back to Russia we offered to take them to whatever venue they wanted to see... They chose a supermarket.
