Since today is National Punctuation Day, I thought it'd be fun to revisit Victor Borge's classic "Phonetic Punctuation" routine.

Actually got to see him in a live performance w/ my Mom and aunt way back when I had hearing. Of course he included this routine …

I have seen this many times, but admittedly not recently. I always laugh, and today was no exception! A very gifted man, this Clown Prince of Denmark! Thanks Nameless.

So today is National Punctuation Day! Who knew? Lynn, did you notice that if you go to YouTube there are materials available for using this to teach ESL? Absolutely amazing!

National Punctuation Day! I didn't know that there was such a day. Victor Borge is "FUNNY" in this video. Been a long time since I have heard his name. Remember seeing him on TV a long time ago.

Thanks for the Punctuation Day Video.

I didn't know there was a National Punctuation Day, either, thanks for sharing. I remember Victor Borge, always liked him.

How wonderful, Nameless! I wasn't familiar with either National Punctuation Day or Victor Borge, have learned about both and laughed because of the latter. "Old-fashioned" humor that hasn't lost any of it's sparkle over time. Thanks.
