To be honest, Soupy Sales creeped me out a little bit when I was a kid.
You thought that way as a kid?

From Annie Hall....
oh hardy har har, stop I can't breathe.
Soupy was one of the first comedians who crossed from kiddies to adults. My Dad would watch him and that creeped my mom out.
Humor should have a streak of discomfort shot through it.
Thanks for that Annie Hall. I never saw the movie.

I didn't see anybody discussing or mentioning intelligence. Does make one wonder what you know about that topic, however.
See, I found that really funny.
