Many years ago, I thought Al Franken was one of the funniest people
anywhere. SNL was my favorite show. I liked Al, Buck Henry, Steve Martin,
Mr. Bill, etc.

But now, at age 46, I find all of the above to be strangely lacking in
humor. It's not that I've grown up or anything, it's just that my sense of
humor back then was seriously chemically-enhanced. Now that I am sober, Al
Franken doesn't impress me much any more.
