An old Mason favorite:

Golfer, watching a buddy struggle into a girdle: “Since when have you been wearing a girdle?” Buddy, with a sigh: “Since my wife found it in the glove compartment”.

A while back, I saw the poster for this performance and I thought it was grisly: a corpse painted unnaturally bright colors by a hamfisted coroner. Then I saw the prominently displayed logo of Sparkman-Hillcrest Funeral Home, and thought it even odder; kind of like when a greasy spoon has photos on the menu that make the food look worse than it already is. Why would a reputable funeral parlor advertise their services on the cheap like that? And what kind of “placement” is the plate-glass front of Pogo’s Liquors?

Then I saw that the “corpse” was Jackie Mason, and ever since, I’ve seen the world in a new light. It was like when the Wizard of Oz goes color, or like the first time you hear Sgt. Pepper’s. Peeps, it was way cleaner than acid!

I wish Bill Hicks and Bernard Manning were here right now to slap you in the mouth.

It’s called real humor, kids. You know, where you actually have to be thinking to understand it?

Now run back to your little Dane Cook cd’s.

I thought it was funny, and I’m 36.

How old do you have to be to think any of this is funny?

Oh, and Jackie, “wherefore” doesn’t mean “where.”
