You should look for his early comedy album titled 200MPH. One whole side is the story of the Cobra, and it's gut-busting hilarious.

Pete,
When I was a "young" man, I had bought everyone of his albums and used to lie on the floor in front of my parents' stereo console in the living room and laugh so hard I had stomach cramps and tears in my eyes. I actually memorized some of his routines and recited them in high school at lunchtime to my friends.
"my scarf was limp"
"you want a hundred dollars, I'll give you a hundred dollars - give me the Midol tablets!"
"I forgot I was behind him"
"I had never seen a hole before"

Just a few I really remember.
"Who is this really?"

Verne

Verne,
Friggin' funny...isn't this better over here away from the auction fallout!.


Remember My Brother Russell?. I seldom speak to my own brother but when I do we still get into the old "you ain't my real brother, you was brought here by the po-lice."
I should call him!.
