If you're not familiar with British T.V., you may not know
The Goodies
(I didn't). It was a sketch humor-type of show written by three British
comedians; it ran in the '70s and early "˜80s. In 1975, a bricklayer
named Alex Mitchell was enjoying a skit in which a Scotsman, clad in a
kilt and all, was fighting off a deadly black pudding using his
bagpipes. It struck him particularly funny and he laughed for 25
minutes straight.
His heart finally gave out and he collapsed on the couch, according to his wife. She later wrote
The Goodies to thank them for making her husband's final moments so merry.
