I agree with you completely! And Blazing Saddles is on my short list of best movies ever...
And I'll tell you a litte anecdote. A couple of years ago, in the summer, I'm on my bike at an intersection, waiting for the light to change. Next to me, on the sidewalk, is a guy in an electric wheelchair...I don't know what made me do it, but I looked over and yelled, "Hey, wanna race?" He laughs and yells back ,"Sure!" and hunches down over his handle bars, and as the light changes he takes off and beats me across because I haven't moved...I finally rode by him and gave him the thumbs up and we both laughed...I still see him occasionally when I'm driving in my car, and I honk my horn and wave at him, and he waves back...
Of course I was a nasty, insensitive, nauseous, politically incorrect and incorrigible jerk when I challenged that - what's the word - mobility-disadvantaged? man to a race...LOL

I love Mel Brooks ...remember "get Smart" and I am really over political
Correct...and a World without humour or poking a bit of fun at each other is pretty awful and Puritan.

Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein . . . two of the funniest movies ever made! I too enjoy Mel Brooks films very much. Add The History of the World-Part I, and you've got one heck of a trio of laughs! Even Robin Hood-Men In Tights had its moments. With all of the crap going on all around us, we need this type of humorous distraction!
