Fear


Well, the most terrible fear that anybody should have is not war, is not a disease, not cancer or heart problems or food poisoning – it’s a man or a woman without a sense of humor.    Jonathan Winters

Beginning in 1960, Winters recorded many classic comedy albums for the Verve Records label.
