Re: Laurel & Hardy.
Humour IS subjective, I found Chaplin's films clever, inventive and timed to perfection, but I never laughed out loud at them, even as a child. Obviously, there was no dialogue in his films, just captions so perhaps this could have detracted from their content.

Re: Laurel & Hardy.
Last month I gave Damar a written request for a 'Keystone Cops' movie, to take to the Phillipino CD shop that sells cheap pirates in Lae. She reckons they just gave her funny looks. I used to have a sore stomach after watching that lot.
