From Christopher Hitchens’ book, The Trial of Henry Kissinger

In the Sistine Chapel, Gore Vidal once came upon Henry Kissinger “gazing thoughtfully” at the Hell section of Michelangelo’s Last Judgment. “Look,” said Vidal to a friend, “he’s apartment hunting.”

When Bing Crosby died Bob Hope, who apparently sometimes joked about Crosby's meanness with money, said that Bing knew he was going soon as he'd seen him go into a shop and buying an asbestos suitcase.

I liked this joke as it's funny on many levels.

RIP Shane, one of my all time favourite Christmas songs will again be tinged with sadness

You can add the great classic photographer Elliot Erwitt.

If you’ve not heard him, I suggest having a Quick Look on Google.
