Some of you will remember the late comedian Rodney Dangerfield who made a handsome living with the phrase — “I don’t get no respect.”

“I don’t get no respect,” Rodney would say, adjusting his tie. “I tell ya when I was a kid, all I knew was rejection. My yo-yo, it never came back . . . With my dog I don’t get no respect. He keeps barking at the front door. He don’t want to go out. He wants me to leave . . .”

Said Dangerfield, “I asked my old man if I could go ice-skating on the lake. He told me, ‘Wait till it gets warmer.’”

He said, “Once when I was lost I saw a policeman and asked him to help me find my parents. I said to him, ‘Do you think we’ll ever find them?’ The policeman said, ‘I don’t know kid. There are so many places they can hide.’”

Things didn’t get any better as he got old…
