Aggressive? This guy showed a lot of anger - lots of it. useless-knowledge.com Sam Kinnison told jokes that way. As a former evangelical preacher, Sam could captivate the audience as he told the a story but, with a mighty “Hallelujah!”, his punch lines would knock you over. He would actually raise his voice to a scream and the sheer physicality and emotion would double the joke’s comic impact. Back in the ‘70’s, one of mankind’s Human Catastrophes de Jour, was a famine in Chad that was killing thousands. The Saharan country had not seen rain in years so water and crops were non-existent. Sam described the horror and his confusion and offered simple advice to those suffering Chadians (?, Chadites, Chadish, Chadese?) after seeming to thoughtfully consider their plight: “MOVE!!,” he’d scream. “YOU LIVE IN A F**KING DESERT – NOTHING GROWS THERE!! MOVE!!”
