Standup comedy


Went to some stand-up comedy with Karen last night.

I have made a determined effort, and remembered two funny bits.

(a) Morph (plasticine character, Tony Hart) ... if you were a little man made of plasticine who could morph his own shape, you wouldn't waste time on all the stuff Morph did, you'd make yourself an enormous ****. [Comedian gestures to indicate making enormous **** out of plasticine....]

(b) Tai chi... why is it when I see someone in a park doing tai chi, it's ME that gets embarrassed, when he's the one doing the silly poses? What's that all about? Tai chi must be the ancient oriental art of "shame wafting"
