I got this big fear of doing smoking jokes in my act and showing up five years from now goin' [puts mic to his neck and speaks as if he had a mechanical larynx] 'good evening everybody, remember me, smoking's bad. [puts cigarette to neck and mimics smoking it] Eeww. You ever seen somebody do that? I've seen someone do that.

You're dead too.
...love rather than fear...this radical philosophy is coming from me, an avowed misanthrope...surely there is hope for us all.
