Tain't funny, McGee

There's a riff on an early Richard Pryor album, where's he portraying an old black minister who's remarking on one of his parishioners, a young boy with hydrocephalus:

"...the little waterhead boah..." (imagine Richard Pryor's voice and you'll get it)

Now, as a big waterhead boy, I don't find that line as funny as I once did.
Besides, it's not nice to make fun of the afflicted...

(But you're still a funny man, Mister Pryor, and I forgive you. If anyone knew about laughing through prejudicial remarks, it was you...)
