The little girl saw her first troop parade and asked, 'What are those?' 'Soldiers.' 'What are soldiers?' 'They are for war. They fight and each tries to kill as many of the other side as they can.' The girl held still and studied. 'Do you know ... I know something.' 'Yes, what is it you know?' 'Sometime they'll give a war and nobody will come.'

George Burns

George Burns

George Burns (born Nathan Birnbaum January 20, 1896 - March 9, 1996) was an Academy Award-winning Jewish-American comedian and actor.

His career spanned vaudeville, film, radio, and television, with and without his equally legendary wife, Gracie Allen. His arched eyebrow and cigar smoke punctuation became familiar trademarks for over three quarters of a century. Enjoying a remarkable career resurrection that began at age 79, and ended shortly before his death at age 100, George Burns was as well known in the last two decades of his life as at any other time during his career.
