Happy 116th Birthday, Jack Benny!
For those who say "Who?", first you should be ashamed of yourselves, and second you should probably go here and download one of his old radio shows.
Here's a classic skit he used to perform with Mel Blanc
(oh, and it's also Youtube's 5th anniversary.)
I think the basic unit of comic timing should be called the Benny. There are very few comedians now and in the past capable of going the full Benny.
