Leslie Neilsen R.I.P.

Surely you can't be serious?

I am, and don't call me Shirley...

R.I.P. to a very funny man who was part of probably the best spoof movie of all time - Airplane. It couldn't be made today, more's the pity...

Looks like he picked the wrong week to quit breathing.

Yup a funny man, preferred the Airplane movies over the Naked gun ones though.

Call the Hospital.

Why, what is it?

It's a big white building with nurses and doctors, but that's not important right now!

Nice beaver.

Is this some kind of bust ?

I'd originally thought they had meant Brigitte Nielsen.

He was born in the same city as my mother (Regina, Sas.)

I really hope they do a rerun of ALL his films, he was a genius.

RIP.
