Shelley Berman, Stand-Up Comic Who Skewered Modern Life, Dies at 92

I certainly remember this bit (and many other bits) from his stand-up (sit-down) shtick:
"If you’ve never met a student from the University of Chicago, I’ll describe him to you. If you give him a glass of water, he says: 'This is a glass of water. But is it a glass of water? And if it is a glass of water, why is it a glass of water?' And eventually he dies of thirst."
