Comedian Rodney Dangerfield (nee Jacob Cohen, born in my original hometown of Babylon, LI), has passed from the scene at age 84, and in doing so, seems finally to have achieved the respect he invariably claimed was missing from his life.

One thing which has driven me nuts for years is the character of the funeral home director in the original Ocean's Eleven… neither Dangerfield nor Cohen are credited in the film, and it's not listed on his own IMDb resumé, but I swear that's him! Anyone else spot him in that movie? It's not a "background" part!

"Hey, honey. How would you like to make $14 the hard way?"

"The last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a hook in it"

The King is dead... long live the King!

A local radio station from Philly was telling a story this morning of the time they hired Rodney to do an add for them. His fee was $25,000 and a hooker.

Only Rodney.
