Tim Conway's Mastery of Making People Laugh

 

Being born in 1950s, my generation were privileged to be in front of the TV, glued to the offerings at that time.

So many changes happened in those years.  Comedians became a big part of any variety TV shows like The Carole Burnett Show.   Tim Conway? Oh, my.  That man was gifted. 

What could he do? Tim Conway simply walked on the stage, with a slight limp.  That sends him off to something...and the audience goes wild.

    

                               The famous elephant story         

                                    The Koala story

 Falling down the stairs

 

Watch these if you have 2 - 4 minutes.   You'll see just how amazing Conway was.  Once he read the audience and his co-stars, he would take off on improvisation that went way off the boards.

        

Awesome, absolutely the best

Generally, at one time or another everyone manages to attend one or more weddings.  Pretty generic most of the time, but sometimes amazing things happen at weddings.  Not just the expensive wedding gown, flowers, etc. But surprising and memorable things.

At my own wedding, my-almost-husband fainted, dropped down like a sack of feed.  Down.  Out cold.  He was okay, we ended up married, so all was well.  However, my small town of 427 had years of stories from that.

Then there are the melting cakes.  

I personally have been at three family weddings where the heat and humidity caused the cakes to droop with icing cascading down the layers.

My sister’s cake—the layers nearly slid off each other, onto the table.

  

My sis-in-law’s wedding in Chicago, mid-July, the icing was sagging and turning into a puddle.  

Same thing with another sis-in-law--pure sugar water fall. 

Some weddings are sunny mornings with the tent all set up, tables with tablecloths, with crowning wedding cake in the center of dance floor.  

Then a storm whips up, winds sweep, and all disappear into the manicured grass. Awesome.

But, the best part is the wedding cake.  I love eating wedding cake.  Skip the chicken and broccoli, let’s move on to the wedding cake.

Those weddings are the best—when something goes wrong and people have to problem solve.  Those are the great weddings.

Let's all raise a glass and toast....
