I'm hoping this is the worlds worst April Fools joke, but one of the greatest stand up comics I've ever seen in my life is being reported dead. Supposedly it as a heart attack, brought on by 'natural causes', whatever those can be in a 37 year old man. Thsuly, I shall now cut and paste a slew of his funniest quotes.

I haven't slept for ten days, because that would be too long.

I had a stick of Carefree gum, but it didn't work. I felt pretty good while I was blowing that bubble, but as soon as the gum lost its flavor, I was back to pondering my mortality.

I got in an argument with a girlfriend inside of a tent. That's a bad place for an argument, because I tried to walk out, and had to slam the flap.

My friend was walking down the street and he said, "I hear music." As if there is any other way of taking it in. I tried to taste it, but it did not work.

People teach their dogs to sit, it's a trick. I've been sitting my whole life, and a dog has never looked at me as though he thought I was tricky.

An escalator can never break. It can only become stairs. You would never see an "Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order" sign, just "Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience."

If carrots got you drunk, rabbits would be messed-up.

I have a cheese-shredder at home, which is its positive name. They don't call it by its negative name, which is sponge-ruiner. Because I wanted to clean it, and now I have little bits of sponge that would melt easily over tortilla chips...

If you had a friend who was a tightrope walker, and you were walking down a sidewalk, and he fell, that would be completely unacceptible...

I wish I could play little league now. I'd be way better than before.



Bye Mitch, you were fucking awesome.

I honestly never heard of the guy, but the quotes are great Raga! And I don't like to hear about anybody dying really,:cry:

Bye Mitch, you sounded like a great guy!

Wow, i'm in shock. I just got into Mitch at the end of 04 and he's been one of my favorite comedians since then. I quoted him all the time and wanted him to come to NY so badly and now he's gone. Man this is upsetting :cry:

I'm drawing a blank - was he a regular on Comedy Central and did he wear glasses - his jokes sound real familiar.

yeah, this is him

Oh boooo! That's my fucking morning ruined! I only got into him recently, and the first time I heard him I thought it was the WORST thing I'd ever heard. Cringe inducing.

Then, at about the third listen......... amazing!!
He was absolutely hilarious!

Boo this crap
