Like the guy who wore a tux to his vasectomy.

Hey, if you want to be "im-po-tent, you got to look im-po'-tant."

I spent (misspent?) all of my youthful summers in the Borscht Belt, the Catskills. I'm sure I've heard every old joke ever told, and most of the newer ones. One year, working as a waiter when I was about 19, I became good friends with the house comedian at the hotel. He would bounce his material off of me, claiming that I had a very discerning sense of humor. Jokes that I laughed at usually got a good response when he tried them on his audience. Those I didn't find funny usually found the same fate from the crowd. By the end of the summer--if I didn't laugh, he didn't use the material.

For some strange reason, I am prouder of the above than perhaps I should be. :)

How did I know you would know that one? You can make a lot of money waiting tables. I think everyone should do that at least once in their life. You learn so much about people. And why it is good to go to college.

dang, you had me worried there! Congrats to you. As the woman at the spa told me last week, it’s our obligation as citizens to try to bring people around to the light for this election, it’s that important. i forget who i saw saying it on Twitter last night, but they said if everyone could get just ONE other person to the polls as a guaranteed Romney vote, that should probably be enough to win.

Just tired and typed it wrong. I thought it was big. We were in the front of an ambulance with the same crew and arguing about Obama 4 years ago and he missed the exit. Same situation we were “talking over each other” with the same guy in the back and he was shouting at us.. “DON”T MISS THE EXIT”. We had a good laugh. My Dem driver just blurted out that he was voting Romney and I was almost speechless. He said he reserves the right to rub my nose in it for 4yrs if Romney cannot fix the economy. I said fair is fair, I have harangued him for 4 years.
