It's not funny to be John Cleese at 82

Must read

{ARXIGRAMMA} D {ARXIGRAMMA} there is nothing funny about wandering around at 82 and saying jokes, not because this is what you like to do, but because still you have to make a living somehow.

That's because John Cleese, co-founder of Eric Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and Graham Chapman of the great Monty Python. But how many of us have or will have the fate of this awesome actor, without even having as much fun as life as Cleese? How many of us will not be able to manage our fortune and find ourselves in the ninth decade of our lives and give our own show “Last Time to See Me Before I Die”? The recent podcast “Commando in your pocket” with Cleopatra Kitti, explains how to avoid common mistakes in managing our pension, as it is not enough just to make sure we have, but to know and manage it.

I always laughed at the jokes of John Cleese. I belong to those who first discovered it from the series “Fawlty Towers”, which in our country we saw for the first time as “A crazy, crazy hotel”. Where, as a hotelier, Cleese was the most rude and incompetent man I had ever seen. The episode with the German tourists is still etched in my memory. When I later, when I was older, discovered “Life of Brian”, the actor forever won a place in what I consider to be the best. I'm still using clues from this movie, with my favorite verse for “People & # 8217; s Front of Judea”. So, yes, I'm going to see him before he dies and I can still do it. However, I would prefer for him not to have to make people laugh at his jokes and to be devoted where he would like. Even in the “paranormal phenomena, ie phenomena that can not be explained by science”, which as he said in his interview with Laura Zangarini of “Corriere della Sera” on the occasion of his new performances and excerpts that we read in Protagon.gr . If Cleese wants to meditate on death and there is life after that, he should do so and not be on the road yet and find that “a tour is the only way to earn a living” and explain that if he did not need money , “I probably would not tour anymore, it's very tiring.”

He attributes his financial situation to his last divorce that cost him twenty million dollars (from his third wife Alice Faye Eickelberger, with whom he divorced in 2009 after 16 years of marriage). However, the feeling I have is that it is not just that. That his divorce cost him so much is indicative of how many millions more went into his bank account. And if Cleese has found his excuse, what excuse should we find for our provident fund that we already know will pay off the loans and buy the car we have always dreamed of? And if there are still people out there who want to hear Kliz's jokes, who would want to hear us, read us or see us in front of him? Probably none. This is why in the last episode of “Commando in your pocket” we talk about the biggest mistakes that a retiree can make. Listen here on the website of “Politis” and on its own website, koumanto.com. Because sometimes the jokes end, no matter how much black humor we have.
