He gave me a kite.

never mind the stand-up, enjoy the joke...

Albert Einstein dies and goes to heaven.

At the Pearly Gates, Saint Peter tells him, "You look like Einstein, but

you have no idea the lengths some people will go to sneak into Heaven.

Can you prove you're Albert Einstein?"

Einstein ponders for a few seconds and then asks,

"Can I have a blackboard and some chalk?"

Saint Peter snaps his fingers and a blackboard and chalk instantly

appear. Einstein proceeds to describe, in arcane mathematics and

symbols, his theory of relativity.

Saint Peter is suitably impressed. "You really ARE Einstein!" he says.

"Welcome to heaven!"

The next to arrive is Picasso. Once again, Saint Peter asks for

credentials.

Picasso asks, "Mind if I use that blackboard and chalk?"

Saint Peter says, "Go ahead."

Picasso erases Einstein's equations and sketches a truly stunning mural

with just a few strokes of chalk.

Saint Peter claps. "You are definitely the great artist you claim to

be!" he says. "Come on in!"

Then Saint Peter looks up and sees George W. Bush.

Saint Peter scratches his head and says, "Einstein and Picasso both

managed to prove their identity. How can you prove yours?"

Dubya looks bewildered and says, "Who are Einstein and Picasso?"

Saint Peter sighs and says, "Come on in, George."

I've just discovered Jeff Dunham & Achmed The Dead Terrorist -- for those of you who like dark humor.

If you like that, check out Jeff Dunham & Walter segments--pretty funny stuff.

I think billy connolly's over-rated tbh - that's coming from a scot too.

Impossible question for an "international" crowd, such as we are here. Humor itself is much different among different countries.

With that caveat, I'll say that this American puts Billy Crystal at the top of my all time list.

I'd probably put George Carlin next.

Robin Williams is "hit and miss", because he's so dam_n hyper that he sometimes gets too silly to be funny.
