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 ----- Original Message ----- From: Bev Christian To: 'TechNet E-Mail Forum' ; 'Inge' Sent: Friday, July 17, 2009 3:42 PM Subject: NTC RE: [TN] On the way to being unemployed.... 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.
