Charlie Jarvis Strikes Again! (Conclusion)
Doc Blakely (great humorous
speaker who was in the audience the
day of this talk in 1980 when the
National Speakers Association con-
vened in New Orleans) knows what I
am talking about when I am talking
about the humor. Humor is tragedy
separated by time and space. Some-
thing that happened a long time ago.
