Everyone should have a joke

I was doing a show the other day, and there was this group of old people sitting right next to the “stage”, and I was picking on them a bit cause they were fun. There was the guy I was picking on quite a bit. Had to be damn near 70 years old or more. And I was like “nope”, but like, genuinely. Like he didn’t have a joke he could rift off the top of his head.

You gotta have a joke, people. At least one! Just one fucking joke. You can steal it. It’s fine. If they know who you stole it from then you have something to talk about. But get at least one. fuckin. joke. I was like Don, you’ve been around twice as long as me. Don’t you have a single joke, bro? Just one? Knock-knock joke? You gotta have a least one joke! I don’t care if you’re not a comedian.

You know what I love? When people surprise me with a joke. Like you think you have them figured out as a person. And they tell you a joke that’s reaaaaaaaally dark or somet shit. and you’re like oooooooo damn. this person got layers. Like one of them chocolate cakes. with layers. but not like cake layers. like a layer of cake, and then cream, and then more cake and more cream. shit that surprises you.

Jokes are a great way to tell someone about yourself without actually saying anything about yourself. I think everybody should have at least one joke. And if you can come up with it all by yourself, that’s all the better. You don’t have to come up with jokes just to tell them on stage. Ya never know when it’ll be a good time to use it. You can be a comedian anywhere, or you can at least know how to tell a joke. one joke!! Just one!! have it fuckin ready next time Don!

I wanna laugh too. Y’all better have a joke ready when I ask you for one.
