When I was younger, due to my disability, I had a hard time learning to laugh. My parents sent me to OT in order to learn to express myself better; but that only worked to a point.

Little did they know that all it took to make me laugh was to spend my time watching Benny Hill with my Grampy. We'd be sitting there laughing our asses off as Benny slapped the old man or tore the girl's clothes off; and those skits where everyone is moving super-fast.

A few years ago my Grampy passed away; but I still cherish that moment in my mind. I still watch Benny Hill; and I buy those new boxed sets that A&E release.

I believe that there isn't -- and never will be -- a man like Benny Hill. He's the type of guy that could tell the same joke a million times; and you would still laugh as hard as the last.

This is one of my favorite poems that Benny Hill once read:

[b]THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE DONE[/b]

[i]They said that it could not be done,
He said "Just let me try."
They said, "Other men have tried and failed,"
He answered, "But not I."
They said, "It is impossible,"
He said, "There's no such word."
He closed his mind, he closed his heart...
To everything he heard.

He said, "Within the heart of man,
There is a tiny seed.
It grows until it blossoms,
It's called the will to succeed.
Its roots are strength, its stem is hope,
Its petals inspiration,
Its thorns protect its strong green leaves,
With grim determination.

"Its stamens are its skills
Which help to shape each plan,
For there's nothing in the universe
Beyond the scope of man."
They thought that it could not be done,
Some even said they knew it,
But he faced up to what could not be done...
And he couldn't bloody do it!!![/i]

I thought benny hill was very funny to me. And Monthy Python was funny too.
