I think Andy Kaufman was really funny and talented.  The general belief is that he died.  I assume this is so, because if it was a gag he would have gotten tired of it by now.  I am comparatively famous, it doesn't bother me.  Probably because I went to school in Hollywood with children of movie stars, and also because I read books about Zen Buddhism when that was all the rage, I never got addicted, which was very lucky.
