Very funny. I wish it were true.
I don't think this is a fair contest. But then, I guess that means "my man" will win. Go Charles!
Based on the First Lady choices, Charlie wins. But Buster was always an honest man. Might be a refreshing change.
Chaplin vs Keaton - loved it!!
Where do I send my fan mail? Funny and oh so true. You are an amazing writer. Keep it up. I want to read more from you.
Thank you so much! Just keep reading. Very gratifying.
