Monday, January 16, 2017In May 1948, Morris called attention to the insensitivity of the program with an editorial in the Johnson City Press-Chronicle that was sent to the popular radio program. In part, it said:"Throughout my long tenure of service, "said Mr. Morris, "it has never been my desire to make light of death or its accompanying grief, and I confidently feel that if this well-known punster were to suffer poignant grief, he would without hesitation seek another means of livelihood.""Twixt you and me, ‘Dig,’ death is never funny, nor, in the human circumstances of deep sorrow, can funeral service ever be considered festive or jovial."In all fairness, Mr. Digby, we put to you the case of a family suffering bereavement. Not an exceptional case of some overly sensitive family issue, but the typical family of average, decent Americans. They recently lost, let us say, their elderly mother. To keep the case entirely fair to you, let us think of this family, not in their first poignancy employing grief, but some weeks after the funeral."Picture this scenario: This family is still in the phase of adjustment and transition. They're slowly, very slowly beginning to find their way back into normal paths of life they'd known before the shock of their recent heartbreak. They are seated in their home on any given Saturday evening, trying as best they can to comfort one another, seeking any seemly diversion that may bring some sense of sorrow in their hearts."Someone turns on the radio, and all of a sudden without the slightest warning, comes Digger "Digby" O'Dell, the friendly undertaker" to the microphone. Before you know it, you have been exposed to a pointed pun, or play on words that conjures up a cold, hard, callous, grim allusion to man's physical mor...
