Is This Thing On?

Tea: Vanilla Lapsang

Music: U2, "One"

Time: Night.

Had free passes tonight to a comedy club in Overland Park. Free laughter is always a good thing, so we went. The second and third comics were funny. The first could be someday.

I guess I should feel a tad bit guilty, because so much of comedy involves "othering" someone -- and still I laugh.

I guess I can console myself with the fact that observational, left-field stuff -- Steven Wright, Heywood Banks, the late Mitch Hedberg and the like -- still makes me laugh harder than anything else.

Because if you can't laugh at powdered water, deanthropomorphized cartoon animals or people who understand Morse code being driven crazy by tap dancers ... what can you laugh at?
