My Graduating Class....
I was talking with another comedian recently when we got talking about a particular comedian. This is a comedian who is older than I am, but I always think that he is younger than I am because he started comedy after me.
I concluded that comedians treat their career a bit like high school when it comes to your local scene. The people who make the transition from amateur to paid comic when you do are all in your graduating class.
It is by this logic, I'd say that Tom Simmons and I were in the same class and Costaki and Jody Milks were in the class behind me. Tommy James and Dan Menghini were in middle school when I was graduating. Pat Dixon and Stewart Huff laugh at me behind my back.

Genie and the Taliban
Three guys: a Canadian, Osama bin Laden, and Uncle Sam are out walking together one day. They come across a lantern and a genie pops out of it.
"I will give each of you each one wish. That's three wishes total," says the genie.
The Canadian says, "I'm a farmer, my dad was a farmer, and my son will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada."
With a blink of the genie's eye, *POOF* the land in Canada was forever made fertile for farming.
Bin Laden was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around Afghanistan, so that no infidels, Jews, or Americans can come into our precious state."
Again, with a blink of the genie's eye, *POOF* there was a huge wall around Afghanistan.
"Uncle Sam" (A former civil engineer), asks, "I'm very curious. Please tell me more about this wall."
The Genie explains, "Well, it's about 15,000 feet high, 500 feet thick, and completely surrounds the country; nothing can get in or out - it's virtually impenetrable."
Uncle Sam says, "Fill it with water."
