Two early Franken quips from Tom Davis's autobiography

[underpants]

First I'd highly recommend this book. Davis wrote knowing he was soon to die. He was very frank and honest. There are some really funny stories with Dan Aykroyd and Tom was very close to Jerry Garcia.
Second I include the book cover to set up the second joke.



The first was about Franken's first summer back in Minnesota from Harvard. He worked as a caddy at a golf course. Franken was on the bag for a guy having the worst round of golf of his life. He grew increasingly frustrated until finally he snapped.
"You have got to be the absolute WORST caddy in the world!!!"
Franken right back at him, "THAT would be too ironic"

They MC'ed a review in Vegas in one of the side rooms. On an off night the casino treated the whole crew to dinner and a show in the big room. Robert Goulet performed and backstage afterwards was very gracious and complimentary of their show. The other headliner at that casino came by to also offer his appreciation. John Davidson.
Franken walked right up to him and said, "You can't believe the number of times people come up to me on the street and tell me how much I look like you"

1. "That would be too ironic." Could have been his farewell, also.

Thanks for the laugh, Underpants, and the book.

I'm looking forward to whatever Franken does next. Hopefully he won't feel he has to hide his sense of humor. I've always missed it.
