(Some Rooney) Sad Andy Rooney hospitalized following complications from surgery. Why do we have complications from surgery but never simplifications from surgery? You would think that surgery would make one's health a simpler matter, but this is not the case   (kktv.com) divider line 50

I'm trying to think of an eyebrow joke, but can't think of one that doesn't sound lame.

Too bad he didn't retire twenty years ago and get to enjoy time after television.

anyone with his undeserved influence to tell people to be wary of change probably needs to die as soon as possible. He is literally the Jon Stewart of the 1960's. I'M ONLY JOKING!

I saw this commercial on late night TV, it was for this thing you attach to a garden hose, it was like "You can water your hard-to-reach plants with this product." Who the fark would make their plants hard to reach? That seems so very mean. "I know you need water, but I'm gonna make you hard to reach! I will throw water at you. Hopefully they will invent a product before you shrivel and die! Think like a cactus!" So it said, "You can have this product for four easy payments of 19.95." I would like to have a product that was available for three easy payments, and one farkin' complicated payment! We ain't gonna tell you which payment it is, but one of these payments is gonna be a biatch. The mailman will get shot to death, the envelope will not seal, and the stamp will be in the wrong denomination; good luck, farker! The last payment must be made in wampum!

A browectomy can be tricky business.

Think about it...he couldn't have that procedure while still on the air; that was his signature look!

Dude wanted to clean his looks up, take his millions to Monaco, play the tables, get a tan basking in the sublime Rivera sun and bag some pelt.

this is the same stupid narrow-minded f-bomb that went on 60 minutes and said he didn't feel sorry for Kurt Cobain after he killed himself. After watching this ass-mudgeon make that statement I never watched him on 60 minutes ever again. Now it's your turn for the worms to get to your grave Andy, and I hope they piss on you with Kurt's DNA.

Good luck f-er.

You know what's really disturbing these days? People. Not just any person in particular mind you but but society as a whole when it comes to the subject of death. Sure, there are religions that dictate how one's passing should be dealt with but do we truly know where we will end up when we die? Some will say heaven is full of virgins, some will say hell is giving opinions at the end of 60 minutes.

The first year after retirement is the killer. More men die then than you would believe. The harder a worker a guy is, the more likely he is to just click off the lights and bye-bye.

Jeez I didn't know that. I thought he retired because he had cancer or something. From wiki:

After a mediocre 1982 season (8-4), Bryant, who had turned 69 in September, decided to retire, stating "This is my school, my alma mater. I love it and I love my players. But in my opinion, they deserved better coaching than they have been getting from me this year." His last regular season game was a 23-22 loss to Auburn and his last postseason game was a 21-15 victory in the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tennessee over the University of Illinois. After the game, Bryant was asked what he planned to do now that he was retired. He replied "Probably croak in a week."
Only four weeks after making that comment, and just one day after passing a routine medical checkup, on January 25, 1983, Bryant checked into Druid City Hospital in Tuscaloosa after experiencing chest pain. A day later, when being prepared for an electrocardiogram, he died after suffering a massive heart attack. First news of Bryant's death came from Bert Bank (WTBC Radio Tuscaloosa) and on the NBC Radio Network (anchored by Stan Martyn and reported by Stewart Stogel).[9] On his hand at the time of his death was the only piece of jewelry he ever wore, a gold ring inscribed "The Junction Boys".[10] He is interred at Birmingham's Elmwood Cemetery. A month after his death, Bryant was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian award, by President Ronald Reagan. A moment of silence was held prior to Super Bowl XVII, played four days after Bryant's passing.

What? Did he finally get that droopy thing taken off his upper lip?

Kurt Cobain did the World a great service by offing himself. His lyrics were banal pap run through a randomizer set to "drugged plaid". His musicianship was legendary in its mediocrity. His biggest hit was musically a ripoff, titularly a joke he didn't understand, and a lyrical mess. My theory is that in some odd moment of sobriety, he realized all of this, saw that he had millions of fans, and he then decided that ending it was the right thing to do for the future of humanity.

Bit of a self fulfilling prophecy there. Hard workers only tend to retire because of serious health issues that prevent them from doing what they love, working. Because they retire for serious health reasons, they are likely to die fairly soon.

/women haven't been allowed in the work force long enough to rack up similar stats.

A viewer asks, "Dear Andy Rooney, I love watching you on 60 Minutes, but I've always wondered, why is it that you never trim your eyebrows?"

Well, funny you should ask that. As it happens, I do trim my eyebrows, about three times a day. In fact, I trimmed them just minutes before this broadcast.

A more pertinent question is, why don't I trim my pubic hair? (pulls up pant leg) After all, as you can see, I have to tuck it all into my socks. Well, my graddaughter wants to weave it into a throw rug, and it's almost long enough to do just that...
