Today Sarah and I were driving home and passed by the Lancaster prison. It’s actually a really cool building…it looks like an old castle…except with barbed wire on top of all the walls. Outside of the prison was a stenciled sign that said:
JOBS OPEN
HIRING IMMEDIATELY
MEN AND WOMEN
I cracked, “Baby, look. Let’s go get jobs.”
Without missing [...]

The Shadow Man
As many of know, I always carry a small notebook in my back pocket. One never knows when something funny will pop into your head and it’s always best to be armed to write it down, especially if you have hopes of doing comedy.
Because I carry these notebooks with me all of the time, they [...]

Beauty: In the Eye of the Magazine Cover
Today I was stopped dead in my tracks by a magazine cover. My theory is, if you’re going to name your magazine “Beautiful One” then you’d better make darn well sure the picture of Judy Jacobs on the cover is indeed beautiful.
Otherwise, change the name of your publication to “Crazy Hair Weekly.”

Costco: What are You Looking For?
OK, I’ll be the first to admit, I’m not the sharpest pencil in the lead pile. But I cannot for the life of me figure out just what in the world the Costco receipt-checker lady is looking for.
As you may or may not know, when you shop at Costco as you leave they have an [...]

Stalked by Felt? OK!
There are things that society has accepted as normal that are, in fact, not normal at all.
Let’s say, for example, I am at HersheyPark, a local amusement park. I’m walking along the midway enjoying the atmosphere and suddenly I sense I’m being followed. And not only am I being followed but it’s like someone is [...]

Let’s (Not) Sleep On It
I’ve approached some of my buddies from the National Comedy Theatre about an idea currently bouncing around in my head. Last night as I was falling asleep I had three great ideas for my idea. I was going to get up, grab my “comedy notebook”, and scribble the notions down but I couldn’t get motivated [...]

What is Improv?
What is comedy? What makes something funny? What the heck is the “rule of three?” These are just some of the topics scholars have discussed – and debated – since the dawn of time.
And when improv was discovered (right around the dusk of time) it spurred on deeper queries. My pals up in Manhattan at [...]

Come on, guys!
Yesterday while watching the news I saw a report in which they said the average husband creates 7 hours of housework per week.
Guys, may have a word, please, in private?
(insert pause here while we wait for the ladies to leave)
Ok dudes, seriously. You disappoint me.
We can totally bump that up to at least 10.

The Johnny Appleseed Prayer Song
Sarah and I went camping with a big group of new friends this past weekend. Right before lunch, our friend Alyssa asked if we’d ever heard of Johnny Appleseed. I thought she meant the dude and was about to say “Of course I have, I’m from Indiana.”
And then I realized she DIDN’T mean the dude [...]

MY Gayest Look
Poor Jay Leno.
I used to like him before he became the host of “The Tonight Show.” I actually still like him, just not as a host. Suffice it to say I think he’s a better stand-up comedian than he is talk show host. I guess I’ll always be a Letterman fan. And a Conan fan. [...]
