Stirring the boiling milk by flickr user Plaid Ninja |
Brett: Help me out with the punchline of a joke: What's the difference between pots and pans?
Lori: Um... You can only boil milk in one of them???
Brett: That's probably true. (Though I've never tried boiling milk in a pan.) But I'm not sure that punch line would bring me to the fore of the comedy crowd.
Lori: Yes, well... my comedy skills have been a bit lean of late.
Brett: I think you just need a confidence boost. Here, let me introduce you: "Ladies and gents, please welcome to the stage the funniest person I've ever met, the secret love child of George Carlin and Phyllis Diller, let's hear a big round of applause for Lori!"
Lori: Oh, thank you, thank you... I bet with that intro you're wondering how a child of that pairing grew up? Well... Ah... Hmm. I think I need some more practice.
Brett: Well, let's not put you on stage yet, then. I wouldn't want you to swelter in the spotlight.
