Obituary
I read this paper online to keep up with things back in the hometown. I don't find death funny at all and certainly am not happy this person passed. However, I was stunned when I opened the obituary page to find his.

Sorry, I guess I'm a fool, but what am I looking at here? Admittedly I took a brief read, but it seems to be a run-of-the-mill Obit. Was the guy someone famous? Did I miss something in the article?
I know I'm missing something... and it's frustrating :angry:

It's not that I was making a joke....it's one of those names that gets bandied about all the time in jokes.

Leno runs those type of wedding and engagement announcements all the time. It's hilarious when once in a blue moon I catch his show. Some unbelievable combinations out there.

Yeah, those are funny.
The one I remembered was printed in a book by National Lampoon full of funny signs and newspaper clippings. I wish I could get my hands on that book now.

Lol. Good stuff!
Looks like I got a couple of them mixed up, but yeah, I remember most of those! 
The newspaper clipping from Sesame Street is funny - where they mis-spell "The Count".
