Death had to take Chuck Norris sleeping, for if he had been awake, there would have been a fight.


Chuck Norris doesn’t sleep. He waits.


Chuck Norris didn't die. He just let everyone else live.


Chuck Norris never slept, he just waited


And yet death was defeated. And with that, Chuck Norris took up its mantle.


they were better when they were Vin Diesel jokes.


The Vin Diesel jokes I remember had an absurd quality to them beyond "He's really tough." One I recall fondly was "Vin Diesel writes Donkey Kong Fan Fiction."


Chuck Norris jokes were making rounds well before Vin Diesel was even born.


The Chuck Norris fact page that really kicked this all off started as a Vin Diesel fact page.

Most of the original funny Chuck Norris facts were from the original Vin Diesel ones.


The kids today don't know their internet lore. smh.


Is this a joke?


Haha, good one.

I will have to steal this one for my upcoming valedictorian speech.

The crowd is going to love it.


I believe it's stolen from a quote said about Teddy Roosevelt

Except is was said by Vice President Thomas R. Marshall upon Theodore Roosevelt’s death and co-opted as a Chuck Norris joke.


Teddy Roosevelt was the Chuck Norris of his day. It is appropriate.


I think that comparison is quite unfair to Teddy, and overly flattering to Chuck Norris.

Historian, sheriff, war hero, governor, explorer, and a successful President who reshaped America largely for the better. While Roosevelt was human, he led a life that very few have ever matched.

That said, the line does fit them both.


Literally saved Football.


All due respect, no comparison, teddy is a real legend not just cinema. Lets not conflate the two. Much love to chuck though.


It's a kickass obituary, no matter the subject!


I agree!

It is funny because you usually think of Death as something inevitable and people just accept it but then ... some of these guys put up a fight. Mega-LMAO!
