funny humor hands
Some comics get drunk before a show. I don't. When I get drunk, I don't want to stand in front of a bunch of people that I don't know. That does not sound comfortable. Why have all these people gathered? And why am I elevated and not facing the same way as everyone else? And what is this electric stick in my hand? I want a chair too!
funny humor people
I played in a death-metal band. People either loved us or hated us. Or they thought we were OK.
funny humor sugar
I had to take a physical to do this show. They had a lot of weird questions like, "Have you ever tried sugar or PCP?"
funny humor car
If I was a mechanic and someone called me and said their car would not start, I would say, "Hey - maybe a killer is after you!"
funny humor limos
Last time I called shotgun we had rented a limo, so I messed up!
funny humor guy
I heard a guy tell me he liked cherries. I waited to hear if he was going to say "tomatoes", then I realized he like cherries just. That joke is ridiculous.
funny humor pasta
I can't eat spaghetti. There's too many of them.
funny humor firsts
I had my palm read. I wrote something on it first to see if she would read that too.
funny humor years
I have a roommate, and I signed a year lease. I screwed up! That's like I wrote a joke that didn't work, but now I have to tell it for a year.
funny humor eye
I sometimes close my eyes during a show because I have drawn a picture of an audience enjoying the show more on the back of my eyelids.
funny party humor
You know when you go into a restaurant, and it gets busy and they start a waiting list, and they start calling out names, "DuFresnes, party of two." They say again, "DuFresnes, party of two." But then if no one answers, they'll just go to the next name, "Bush, party of three." Yeah, but what happened to the DuFresnes? No one seems to care. Who can eat at a time like this? People are missing! And they're hungry! That's a double whammy! "Bush, search party of three!" You can eat once you find the DuFresnes!
funny brother humor
I made $3,000 opening for the Neville Brothers, and they paid me in cash. That was a bad situation, because I bought ridiculous stuff. I bought a snake bite emergency kit. Then I said to my friends, "Don't even worry about snakes anymore". My friend stepped on a worm, and I said, "Lay down!"
funny hate humor
I hate flossing, I wish I just had one long curvy tooth. They didn't have to make separations for me.
believe night thinking
I know people who believe in ghosts but don’t believe in themselves. It’s kind of sad. Okay you don’t think you’ll ever make it as a musician, but last night you saw a translucent caveman.
