...and Don't Call Me Shirley
- Leslie Nielsen, who traded in his dramatic persona for inspired bumbling as a hapless doctor in "Airplane!" and the accident-prone detective Frank Drebin in "The Naked Gun" comedies, died on Sunday in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He was 84.
As the doctor aboard a plane in which the pilots, and some of the passengers, become violently ill, Mr. Nielsen says they must get to a hospital right away.
"A hospital? What is it?" a flight attendant asks, inquiring about the illness.
"It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now," Nielsen deadpans.
When he asks a passenger if he can fly the plane, the man replies, "Surely you can't be serious."
Mr. Nielsen responds: "I am serious, and don't call me Shirley."
We've owned "The Naked Gun" television series for years, and we've worn out sections of the videotape watching and re-watching some truly hilarious lines that could only have been delivered by Leslie Nielsen. Thanks for the laughter, Mr. Nielsen.

will OJ simpson be attending the funeral?
Leslie made some great movie and I can image him in the after life partying through havens gates. RIP LN
And thanks for your Service, Mr. Nielson. He was a Royal Canadian Air Force Aerial Gunner during WWII. The last of a generation of Hollywood actors who were also veterans. Few if any of them in that leftist America hating snake pit today.
RIP Sir.
Believe it or not, I learned a lot from Lt. Frank Drebin. Don't take this job ( except for officer safety ) too seriously. Try and have fun, see the humor in the everyday shit, never let a bad get you down, learn from the good and the bad. And timing is everything with your jokes. Remember, he who laughs last thinks slowest.
Ha-Ha!

Mayor: Now Drebin, I don't want any trouble like you had on the South Side last year, that's my policy.
Frank: Well, when I see five weirdos, dressed in togas, stabbing a man in the middle of the park in full view of a hundred people, I shoot the bastards, that's *my* policy!
Mayor: That was a Shakespeare-In-The-Park production of 'Julius Caesar,' you moron! You killed five actors! Good ones!
Frank: It's a topsy-turvy world, and maybe the problems of two people don't amount to a hill of beans. But this is our hill. And these are our beans!
Frank: A good cop - needlessly cut down by some cowardly hoodlums.
Ed: That's no way for a man to die.
Frank: No... you're right, Ed. A parachute not opening... that's a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine... having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that's the way I wanna go!
He taught me how to engage in safe sex!
A class act with a ton of talent. Thanks for the laughs and entertainment. You will be missed Mr. Nielsen.
Leslie Neilsen teamed up with other (formerly) straight laced actors: Peter Graves, Robert Stack and Lloyd Bridges made for the funniest movie ever--"Airplane!"
That was brilliant casting by Abrahams and Zucker.
I can just imagine them all up in heaven cracking each other up.
" Nice beaver. Thanks I just had it stuffed "
It brought sadness to my heart this morning when I learned this man passed. Anyone that can make me laugh will be sorely missed.

Illinois House Democrats voted today to give Speaker Michael Madigan another two years as their leader in Springfield.
"Madigan received the unanimous backing of his rank and file members, along with thunderous applause and cheers..."

I was double promoted on Chicago-style MERIT. Detective Nordberg was my best man. He specialized in DOUBLE homicides.
A real gentlemen!
He was incredibly awesome. I loved watching his movies. He always had me LMAO.
R.I.P. Mr. Nielson. :(
