I recall the advice of Jack Handey [1] [2]:
> “If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy.”

- dandelany 10y ago..? Jack Handey != Al Franken
- DougN7 10y agoI'm pretty sure they are the same person. Lookup Al Franken.
- guelo 10y agoNo. Jack Handey is the name of a real comedian and he read his own stuff on SNL.

- DougN7 10y agoYou're right. I'm mixing up Stuart Smalley and Jack Handey.
- ChillyWater 10y agoWithout checking the interweb, isn't Stuart Smalley == Al Franken?
- deleted 10y ago[deleted]
- wyldfire 10y agoYes, that was one of his more notable characters.
- maxerickson 10y agoAl Franken - Real person, writer and cast member on SNL, Senator. Stuart Smalley - Character played by Al Franken. Jack Handey - Real person, writer on SNL, did Deep Thoughts voiceovers.
- khazhou 10y agoTIL!
- timdierks 10y agoJack Handey is an actual person, the writer of the one-liners GP refers to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Handey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Handey (I'm not sure if he recorded the voiceover performance or not). Al Franken is a different actual person who also worked on Saturday Night Live and who is now a US Senator.
- maxerickson 10y agoHandey also wrote and narrated “Deep Thoughts” and “Fuzzy Memories” for the show. http://www.deepthoughtsbyjackhandey.com/the-answer/ http://www.deepthoughtsbyjackhandey.com/the-answer/
- narrator 10y agoBetter advice is to try and fall on a moving car roof like this unfortunate window washer in San Francisco recently. http://ufpnews.com/window-washer-survives-11-story-fall-onto-moving-car-in-calif/ http://ufpnews.com/window-washer-survives-11-story-fall-onto...
