I'd hoped it
I'd hoped it was an April Fool's Day joke, but the article Wolfie linked to appears to be written before April 1st. It looks like my favorite stand up comic has kicked the bucket, way before his time. It's a sad day. I'll now leave you with my favorite Mitch Hedberg quote of all time.
"I bought a doughnut and they gave me a receipt for the doughnut. I don't need a receipt for the doughnut - I'll just give you money and you give me the doughnut. End of transaction. We don't need to bring ink and paper into this. I can't imagine a scenario in which I would need to prove that I bought a doughnut. Some skeptical friend... don’t even act like I didn't buy a doughnut, I've got the documentation right here. Oh wait, it's back home in the file... under "D", for doughnut."
