Agent 86 has passed

Don Adams, 82, the television comedian best known for playing a bumbling secret agent on the 1960s spy spoof "Get Smart," died Sept. 25 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He had lymphoma and a lung infection.

You may ask why I would post this, why of course he is a United States Marine. He served in WW2 and was awarded the Purple Heart for injuries received during the Guadalcanal invasion.

One of the many memorable exchange had Smart trying to pass for a music expert.

"I once listened to three weeks of Beethoven," Smart says.
"I don't believe it," another character says.
"Would you believe two weeks of Brahms?"
"No."
"A day of Looney Tunes?"

See you at the Pearly Gates one day Leatherneck!
