BuzzFuzz reporter Taffeta Kixx reports that Paul "The Ragin' Cajun" Punch has just celebrated his 99th birthday.
Punch, who was a stand up comedian, is credited with having invented the comical routine 'Punch Line."
The "Ragin Cajun" at one time was the number one comedian in Las Vegas. In fact he wrote one-liners for such famous stand up comedians as Ricard Pryor, George Carlin, Kevin Hart, Gabriel Iglesias, and the Tijuana Torreador Juanito Loquito.
Punch grew up in the bayous of South Louisiana, where his family was so poor that their main meal was swamp twigs.
He had 14 brothers and sisters who could not go to school because they had no clothes, no shoes, let alone pencils and protractors.
SIDENOTE: One of the greatest comedians of all times, Jonathan Winters said of Paul Punch, "On sheer comedy, Paul was a 9. I was a 6. He always enjoyed our meals for two."
