A joke or two about the school administration. Gotta stick it to the man, yโ€™know? ๐Ÿ˜‰

My high school โ€œsenior reflections.โ€
I wrote two pages worth of jokes to submit to the teacher putting the event on (but had an entirely other page I *didnโ€™t* hand her). And she was surprised I was going to memorize them -- as if stand-up was supposed to be on cue cards or something.

Today is the thirteenth anniversary of the mmmmmmm first attempt at stand-up. Zero doesnโ€™t multiply into anything. The pay rate is the same.

The secret of most writers: โ€œWrite what you know.โ€

The apparent secret of major publishers & gatekeepers:
โ€œRite what you โ€˜no.โ€™โ€

I originally wrote, โ€œfuddy-duddy,โ€ so itโ€™s established now. I *am* old-fashioned.

My social media is clogged up with people posting โ€œhot takesโ€ and โ€œunpopular opinions.โ€ Maybe Iโ€™m old-fashioned, but I donโ€™t think itโ€™s necessary to put a label on things if youโ€™re just going to be a pessimist.

Just realized the song โ€œThe Jokerโ€ predates Star Wars by four years.
The very LEAST George Lucas couldโ€™ve done is give Steve Miller Band an โ€œadditional story byโ€ credit for coming up with the idea of a โ€œspace cowboy.โ€

I only now just realized that Porky Pig is trying to say, โ€œThe end,โ€ but because of his stutter he spits out, โ€œTh-th-thatโ€™s all, folks!โ€ instead.

Isnโ€™t it such a crazy coincidence that the man-child happens to HAVE the last name โ€œSquarePants?โ€ ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Each of the United States have their shapes for a reason, this I know. What I donโ€™t know is why Connecticut hasnโ€™t surgically removed its vestigial tail.

I think Iโ€™m done becoming friends with more people named โ€œLauren.โ€ It has just gotten exhausting.

โ€œI remember when SNL was funny.โ€

In more ways than one, the International House of Pancakes (IHOP) has commonalites with The U.N.
Because that place is U.N.healthy!

Just remember, this is the kind of comedy I left Twitter for.
