Default Re: Don Adams dead at 82

This is the bit that I find interesting.

In 1941, he dropped out of school to join the Marines, lying about his age. In Guadalcanal he survived the deadly blackwater fever and was returned to the States to become a drill instructor, acquiring the clipped delivery that served him well as a comedian.

Imagine Don Adams as the DI in Full Metal Jacket. ”Sorry about that Pvt. Joker”

RIP
