Ones he asked me : "Do you know , what's the difference between Las Vegas and Atlantic City" ? Even before my answer , he interrupted me with smile :
"You know shit - I'll tell you" . In his explanation he quoted:
- Whatever happened in Las Vegas , stays in Las Vegas" ( as they say ) ,
but ... "Whatever happened in Atlantic City .... will stick to your shoes" .
How far could he be from the truth ? He loved to be recognized as a social , political critic and patriot , whose sharp , intelligent and boldly expressed observations will not find equally courageous successor in any time soon . He left empty chair in comic's shows arena. I truly miss him .
