“He was a nudnik,” remembered his cousin Marshall. “A real pest.” He would wait on corners for buses, lift his foot to tie his shoe on their steps when they stopped for him, then walk away without getting aboard for a ride. He hung from pipes in people’s kitchen, hid himself in dresser drawers, and leapt out at unsuspecting victims. He made a spectacle of himself, sledding down snowless hills, creating a stream of sparks and sailing headlong when his vehicle ground to a stop. -Jerry as a kid, from The King of Comedy
