Gosh, what a list!  Yes, recognize many of them. I'll need a whole day to go through all rewards and movies and CVs. However, there is one person that I can't bear any more, Jim Carrey.  He is a laughing machine gun, seems more or less to suffer from some personality disease or being a maniac. Yes, you have a lot of good actors, comedians and movie makers. Dan Aykroyd is impressing. How on earth can a man do so much in so few years? He is fantastic. 

By the way, there are very few so called comedians that I like. Most of them are boring, e.g. Eddie Murphy. I don't have the physical resources to laugh every 10 seconds all through a 1 1/2 hr film. I've found that humor can't be mass produced, you can't buy it, you can't create it yourself, it's something that comes spontaneously from persons you meet daily. It happens that someone I changed a few words with make me laugh all the way home. A guy I knew many years ago made a comment in his car when bringing me home from a night job. Left alone some hundred yards from my door , I laughed so high, that I had to leave the street and 'laugh ready' under a tree. Thought I was alone, but a neighbour was out with his dog, stopped, took a few steps into the darkness and saw me. He asked what the heaven I was doing. I replied: I've heard a fun story. From that day he avoided me...

  Inge,

  I'm on holiday this week, so that explains, I hope, why I have the time to even answer this e-mail. Please see below an abbreviated list of Canadian comedians. You may be familiar with at least a couple of them. We may have a very small military, but we don't lack in producing people who can make you laugh.

  And what humor do they have in Canada? British? American? French? Or none

  at all?

  Since I'm off tomorrrow, I thought I'd get an early start for Friday:

   

  To paraphrase Margret Atwood:

  Canada had the promise of French cuisine, British culture, and American

  know-how.

  What we got was British cuisine, American culture, and French know-how.

   

  Happy happy weekend!
