In the early days of Saturday Night Live, during the Weekend Update segment, a standard joke that always got a laugh. 

Chevy Chase doing the news. A picture of Generalissmo Francisco Franco appears behind him. "Francisco Franco." Pause. "Is still dead." 

The house would come down.  

And he would go into the next bit. 

Anyway... 

Today I took a ride up the Hudson. 

Looked just about the same as last time I rode there, before Hurricane Irene.
