worn out laughing

Just watched a couple of movies. They were showing back to back -- old movies, by Mel Brooks'. He walks a fine line, Mel Brooks, but most comedians do. One man's humor is another man's ... I don't know, blank stare? Some of Mel's movies I could take or leave, but I have to say, when he's on form, he's side-splitting. These two are his best, I reckon (okay, I haven't seen all his movies, but ...). Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. There's this part in Blazing Saddles, when the black sheriff is confronted by a mob and he whips out his gun and holds it to his own head and says, "Don't move, or the nigger gets it!" And this holds them, while he argues with himself, then drags himself away (using himself as a hostage).

I know. You can't describe a joke. But take my word for it; it's hilarious.

It's a long time since I laughed so much. Actually I don't think I've ever laughed so much. Maybe it wasn't just the movies.

I'm worn out. I think I'll crash. Amazing how exhausting 3 hours of laughing is!
