Trudeau, you are probably the ONLY comic author who could have gotten away with that gag. You did some great edgy stuff in the 70s and 80s, too. Hope you continue again. Dan

Couldn’t stand menthol in tobacco, not about to ruin good medicine.

Yeah, what is it about black people and menthol? Never could figure out the connection.

When the Chapelle Show was on Comedy Central, in the long, long ago, he used an occasional game show sketch he called “So You Think You Know Black People”.

Yet another stereotype I didn’t know. Must be nice to live around people who know all the proper prejudices.
