Henry "Henny" Youngman  (March 16, 1906 – February 24, 1998)

The British-born comedian was famous for his short, simple jokes that
were usually delivered rapid-fire with occasional musical interludes played
on his violin. A typical performance by Youngman lasted only about twenty 
minutes, but contained dozens of jokes.
