Obit: Morry Cantangle, comedian

I am honored to give an obituary for Morry Cantangle. I can think of others who would not feel this way. Take Sketchy Dollbrook. He never liked Morry but worse he did not respect Morry. Once, Sketchy kidnapped Morry's wife and had their marriage annulled. Another time he had the FBI believing Morry was Son of Sam.

Then there was Miles McCoffenburger. He hated Morry because Morry knew his birth name was Dennis D. Dennison. Morry told that to The New York Times in an innocent interview and the newspaper barred Miles from ever reading the Sunday supplement.

The whole group of people besides me had issues with Morry. Like Gerry Gilbath? Holy crap. Gerry must be laughing the crap out of his pants now that Morry died. I'll tell you something that is recent. Gerry was pissed that Morry got deathly sick before him because people were talking less about Gerry. Scum bucket, that guy.

I also have to mention Biff Boff, Carmine Baton and Zepher Crain. That trio once teamed up on Morry. During his act they came on stage dragging their parents. Literally dragging them. My gawd. Poor Morry. He liked their parents. Morry did not try to get back at them for that. In fact, after the show he untied their parents and drove them home.

Morry Cantangle loved all the people in his life. Once Morry loaned me his garden hose and canary and never even asked why I needed a garden hose and a canary at that exact time. Another time he offered me his tongue when I swallowed mine.

Let us all bow out heads and think well of Morry. And let us think ill of every one I mentioned and when they pass let's pelt their cars with balloons filled with dog dung.
