Aristotle and Standup Comedy




How many comedians have one-liners about Aristotle? The only one I know of is the incomparable Shelley Berman (official site here), from whom I learned much in my youth:
Some people say Aristotle died in Chalcis, Euboea. I think Aristotle died of Chalcis Euboea.


Berman these days plays Larry David's father on Curb Your Enthusiasm. Classic Berman is here.
