Here’s the funniest thing I ever heard.
From the funniest man I ever heard.
Des O’Connor.
Des O’Connor.
Who died today.
Was mocked endlessly by Eric Morecambe.
Heart Attack.
When Eric had a heart attack in 1968.
Des O’Connor heard the sad news during a live Des O’Connor gig.
Des stopped the gig immediately.
Told the audience the news.
And asked them all to pray for his friend and tormenter.
Eric Morecambe.
Eric Morecambe.
Eric recovered.
And later.
When Eric was told that O’Connor had asked his entire audience to pray for him.
Eric was touched.
But not changed.
Those 6 or 7 people might’ve made all the difference.
Eric commented.
Funny.
The funniest thing I ever heard.
From the funniest man I ever heard.
About.
Apparently.
One of the nicest men we ever heard.
Des O’Connor.
Who died today.
