3/26-SURE, THERE WAS HUMOR DURING WORLD WAR II. THE READER'S DIGEST WAS CRITICIZED FOR RUNNING A REGULAR FEATURE ENTITLED "HUMOR IN UNIFORM".



In talk radio, with some guests, it's not over even when it's over.  Yesterday popular folk-lorist Robert Rodriguez (blind since birth; happy and productive since shortly thereafter) had just returned from a conference on humor in the UK.  One of the topics at the conference was, "Was there anything funny during World War II?"  Rodriguez then rattled off a dozen or so funny incidents he'd heard Barry tell over the years, but there was no time to elaborate.  Barry solo this evening goes back and fills in the blanks alluded to by Mr. Rodriguez.
