Here's a little Don Rickles lore.
Don was playing Las Vegas back in the fifties and had his family out for dinner, including his in-laws. Frank Sinatra enters the restaurant and gets ushered over to a choice table. Don, a frind of Frank's, walks over to Sinatra and begs him to come over to his table a little later and introduce himself, as the in-laws were sure to get a big thrill from this. Sinatra agrees, and Don goes back to his big family gathering. A little while later, Sinatra comes over to the Rickles table and starts to introduce himself when Don abruptly cuts him off and says, "Frankie! Hey! We're trying to eat here!"
That one's like "The Aristocrats," an oldie but goodie joke, attributed over the years to dozens of people -- sometimes the instigator isn't even famous but, say, he's rich, or a mobster -- but it's still funny as hell...
EDIT: I've also heard the punch line as "Fuck off, Frank: we're eatin' here!" That chills you and makes you laugh, that someone could actually say that to Sinatra! |

Yeah, but Don Rickles fits the story particularly well. Don doing that delivery is perfect.  |

Seems like Kramer went off the deep end. Is he going way of Mel Gibson?
Nope, Mel's antics have already been forgiven - or forgotten - by most of the public. Eventually, he'll get right back to where he was before. Richards's career, however, is now over. Insulting Jews gets you in temporary hot water. Insulting blacks is a career third rail. He's untouchable now.
Nontheless... |

Mguy, do you remember the scene in MY FAVORITE YEAR, in the Stork Club, where the handsome older guy asks O'Toole if he'll stop by and say hi to his wife? The first time I saw that movie, all I could think of was your Sinatra joke: would they have the guts?
P.S.: They didn't. |
