What a master of timing. If you have time to watch I guarantee you will get a few chuckles.

My Mum introduced me to him when I was very young. I appreciated him from the get go. Just too funny not to.

In his own words he was the only "Great Dane".

Loved his stuff since I was a kid. I don't have time to watch this one now but I will.
Whatever happened to humor? People are so serious these days.

His bio is fascinating. Especially arriving in America after escaping to Finland and getting the last ship out after the German invasion of Norway.
Arrived not speaking English and $300 in his pocket. A few years later a star radio performer.

My dad had an EP with his Mozart Opera and Phonetic Punctuation skits. As a kid, I laughed like a drain at Phonetic Punctuation. Had a fun family night out seeing him perform in Bristol a few years later.

A few years back, there was a photo exhibit at the American Swedish Institute in Mpls., with many of the shots centering on Borge's love for boating. He apparently was quite afflicted with BAS.

Shared this with my kids. Only one has watched it and she loved it. I'll grace her with "phonetic punctuation" next. youtu.be/ZZcntwpilE0 Thanks, Terry.
