Max Shapiro's column in Card Player

[Blarg]

Yeah, Roy West I think. Cheesy as hell.

Max Shapiro has never made me laugh or even smile once. This guy reminds me of some kind of unfunny uncle who comes over on Thanksgiving and won't stop with the old Borscht Belt routines he remembers from the 20's...and doesn't know how to tell the jokes himself or have any idea what's funny. You know the kind -- the one who wants to bring the conversation to a screeching stop to tell everyone the latest pun it made him think of.
