hmm, how to explain a cultural injoke?

well, the short story is that whenever comedians tribute one of their own they end the eulogy with "Goodnite, funnyman"

I guess it's a take-off on Hamlets' "goodnite sweet prince" line.

and, by now, I forgot where this was used first, so the entire "history" of this line is obsured by my brain-alzheimer. So to speak.

basically, it's my dopy way of saying i respect the guy. it just seems weird to everyone who doesn't live in my brain.  :roll:
