Just who makes you laugh? I know comedians come and go but those who come and stay are usually the ones compassionate about their job.
Ever since the dawn of man, we have been laughing. Laughing is a stress reliever as well as a great way to pass the time away. Crying doesn’t do anyone any good but we still do it. Why do we cry? Well death is a very good reason to cry but anything less is not a reasonable reason.
People like Jerry Seinfeld and George Wallace, are great examples of long stay comics. They were in it from the beginning and knew what they were in for, the long haul. I started out as a stand up but just couldn’t handle the pressures of the road and my wife put her foot down and it happened to be on top of my foot.
I guess the first comedian was a cave man. He probably did some funny noises or grunts. If he did talk back then it maybe went a little something like this. “Ug, my wife is so heavy, when I drag her around the cave, she drags around the cave. I took my club and hit my mother in law over the head with it and I must say that she owes me a new one. Who knew it would make like a banana and split. I got to tell yaw folks, being a caveman really stinks and that’s only because we haven’t invented bathing yet.”
I just felt the need to praise all comedians trying to make us laugh. It takes a lot to get out there and do it. Funny or not, they all have my attention.
