Yesterday I did a show in West Virgina in a little town called Moorefield which is nestled in between the mountains. The show was outside in the town park and it was beautiful. Moorefield is nice place but being surrounded by mountains, it’s a little hard to get to and when you don’t know where you’re going that’s an understatment.

Now I had a map and it’s not that I got lost it’s just that googlemaps and Rand McNally don’t bother to tell you that a road is shaped like a drunken snake and has so many ups and downs that it shouldn’t be driven by anyone at anytime for any reason. The trip I thought would take about an hour or more took over two and a half.

When I got there I talked to the people running the event and they told me that the other highway (which was the longer route) would have saved me at least 30 minutes and the dizzy head I had all day. Oh well. Live, learn and always check with locals.

I was with a friend the other day and we were talking about jokes, mainly of the bad variety. Not dirty, just dumb. Of course I have the upper hand in a conversation on this topic because I am aquainted with the one and only Dr. Kickbutt, master of the groaning audience.  Anyway this friend, let’s call him Jon, because that’s his name, told me he had the start to a joke and couldn’t come up with a punch line. The line was, “How many clowns does it take to screw in a light bulb?” The first response was, “Did you come up with that line all by yourself?” But after I thought about I did have a hard time coming up with a good punchline, or least one that’s good enough for my nephew who has told a lot of groaners and a lot more that make no sense at all.  I did come up with this answer. 25, because it’s the one all the way in the back of the car that has the new bulb.

What’s that you say? You don’t think it’s funny? Well I don’t think it’s gold but it was the best I could come up with. If you have a better answer to the question, How many clowns does it take to screw in a light bulb? I’d love to hear it. Happy joke hunting, let me know if you find anything.
