A folklorist, a cartoonist, a psychologist, a lawyer, a columnist, and an icon of American letters walk into a bar…what happens next is unclear. I know it’s not funny, but then flatulence has amused humankind form the beginning. And every manner of man has walked into a whorehouse, for that category of joke.
One of the things I love about my job is sharing laughter with funny people…I get to uncover caches of amusing materials and see what makes some of the world’s most amazing men laugh. Blond jokes, bathroom jokes, ethnic jokes, and a few I can never ever repeat…I get to meet every week with people who make me giggle. Into the night, we can be found huddled on a couch (or elsewhere), screaming with laughter and in good conscience still expecting to stop laughing soon enough to enjoy silence together even more…
And that part is far from funny.
