"I heard the doctors revived a man after being dead for four-and-a-half minutes.
When they asked what it was like being dead, he said it was like listening to
New York Yankees announcer Phil Rizzuto during a rain delay."

~ Late Night host David Letterman
(Rizzuto had the well-known reputation of leaving the broadcast booth
when the first drop of rain fell and before the first clap of thunder sounded)
