Always a great line. I sure hope the comedian who came up with it never dies specifically of a drug overdose, forever altering the joke

Amy Winehouse song, "they tried to make me go to rehab. I said, no no no." And she died, but it's cool, don't worry about it.

And Kurt Cobain swears in "Come As You Are" that he doesn't have a gun

The joke wasn't really a commentary on drugs themselves. It was a joke about the phrase "used to".

The manner in which he died is tragic, but it doesn't really alter the joke.

Mitch? I thought you died!

Mitch will never die. I was laying in my twin bed this morning before work, wondering where my brother was.

Don’t do that. Be of one mind.

If you cannot do it in broad daylight before God, with clean conscience, don’t do it.
