Abbott and Costello

Day 78
Ah, wedding planning...and hilarious black and white comedies.  Dustin came over today to help get some more wedding stuff done including our scrapbook and finalizing the video person contract.  We turned on the television for background noise and there was a Abbott and Costello marathon going on one of the local channels.  I remember watching their famous routine "Who's on First" in high school during a free day in history class.  The antics in that routine were only double the fun in their features included in the marathon:  going to Venus, meeting Frankenstein, meeting the Mummy, and all kinds of silly plots that only they could pull off. 
Isn't it sad that the humor today has to consist of nudity, foul language, and rude jokes?  We watched the marathon while laughing hard.  It was clean, cheesy, honestly funny, and had none of the rude, crude nonsense found in today's comedy routines such as Saturday Night Live and The Office.  Yes, the world is not going to get any better and humanity is still sinful; it's a tragedy that the media feels the need to resort to such raunchiness to get an audience.  I think we were both grateful for the breath of fresh air that Abbott and Costello provided for us in their comedies.
