    I'm Irish and Dave was an Irish treasure - when I need a good laugh when I need a cry , I turn on Dave-Ireland has its writers but no other comedian comes close to Dave's genius - his stories his jokes and his body language were all brilliant - - - - and oh so handsome-I will miss him forever.

Actually this is the fundamental difference between ”stand-up” and “sit down” comedy… he is using his sheer genius, not 300 hundred “F” words per minute, in order to be funny. And he really was unique ! One of a kind, never to be replaced in our hearts. May your god go with you, dear fellow !

      Well, that is an implied sexist remark, no matter how you slice it or what political affiliations you have. Also, he got the story in the Bible all wrong. It is Adam, not Eve, that god supposedly tells not to eat the fruits of the tree of knowledge. He is right about one important thing, though: It is ridiculous to have elected official taking the oath of office with their hand on the Bible. Among others, this is the book that condones slavery and belittles women from its first book to the last forged texts of the New Testament. Use a copy of the Constitution instead.

      God is supposed to be all knowing and even knows everything that will happen in the future, but, god couldn’t foresee Adam being lonely. God gave Adam a penis to insert into a vagina but god hadn’t even thought about creating a woman. It was only after he saw that Adam was lonely that god created a woman from adam’s rib. I’m sure god wouldn’t have made a man with a penis without also giving him a sex drive so what in the hell was Adam going to do with his penis? A lifetime of masturbation? And how was Adam going to reproduce since god only made a man? It takes a make and a female to mate abd have offspring. God made two of all the animals on earth but only one human. Hummm. Did god have another brain fart? Apparently so. He sure wasn’t all knowing if he couldn’t even see the need to have a female human. After all, he gave sex mates to every other animal on earth.
      God isn’t all knowing and the god portrayed in the Bible isn’t even very smart.

    God asked Adam, "What is wrong with you?" Adam said he didn't have anyone to talk to. God said that He was going to make Adam a companion and that it would be a woman. God said, "This person will gather food for you, cook for you, and when you discover clothing she'll wash it for you. She will always agree with everything you say. She will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them. She will not nag you and will always be the first to admit she was wrong when you've had a disagreement. She will never have a headache and will freely give you love and passion whenever you need it." Adam asked God, "What will this woman cost?" God replied, "An arm and a leg." Then Adam asked, "What can I get for a rib?" The rest is history...

    Back in the 1970s there was a Sunday variety TV show in my old country. It had music videos, news, guests, movie clips, etc. But the true highlight was Dave Allen sitting on his bar stool and delivering killer jokes that had me in stitched. I still remember how the next day, on Monday, all we would talk about in school were his jokes. And we would laugh again - probably even harder! Amazing guy - smart as a whip and funny as hell (pardon my use of cliches).

    David Allen was not unlike many of the comedic greats who lampooned life from personal observation. Folks can instantly relate to life's absurdities which have been well done by other legends such as Robin Williams, Richard Pryer, Billy Connelly and George Carlin but just to name a few.
    They just prove to us that our existance should never be taken seriously. Excellent comedians are a national treasure.

    According to the Bible, Adam and Eve were the very first man and woman.
    They had two sons, Cain and Abel.
    Cain murdered Abel, so God banished him to a life of "wandering".
    So Cain wandered off, built a city in the land of Nod and produced a line of descendants, beginning with Enoch.
    And thus was created the world's first plot hole.
