Half of one of the best comedy duos in history. I absolutely loved their act.

For those who haven't seen them, search for the Smothers Brothers and catch a video.

Here's a short one. I've seen many different variations on this bit.

I think I remember them from the show Laugh In? I think.

Made me laugh.

Laughi In was a great show and of course you can’t ever forget the cute Goldie Hawn back when she was actually a gorgeous little girl

Gaston Glock, the Man Behind the Gun, Dies; Age 94.


US News: Gaston Glock, the Man Behind the Gun, Dies Aged 94.
Gaston Glock, the reclusive engineer and tycoon who developed one of the world's best-selling handguns, died on Wednesday aged 94
, Austrian news agency APA said.

The Austrian won loyal followings among police and military across the world with the weapons that bore his name. Forbes estimated his and his family's fortune at $1.1 billion in 2021.

His rise began in the 1980s when the Austrian military was looking for a new, innovative weapon.

Up until then, the Glock company had made military knives and consumer goods including curtain rods. But he assembled a team of firearms experts and came up with the Glock 17, a lightweight semi-automatic gun largely made of plastic.

The revolutionary design - with a frame made of a high-strength, nylon-based polymer and only the slide made of metal - beat several other companies' blueprints and secured his upstart outfit the contract.

Soon the easily assembled weapon became a global hit. "Get yourself a Glock and lose that nickel-plated sissy pistol," Tommy Lee Jones said in the 1998 movie "U.S. Marshals".

While Glocks and I do not get along, their development has done a lot for the pistols we can purchase today. Glock just does not fit my hand
