Jimmy Durante and Buster Keaton; what a pair!!! I have never seen this pre-World War II pair up before. Durante the consummate showman comedian and Buster Keaton with his physical type of comedy.

One of the things I like about Jesus is his sense of the absurd coupled with his ability to communicate; at times he is quite funny...
