Some of you might be having a crummy day. Well, I've spent most of my career making people laugh having released 6 comedy albums of Phoney Phone Crank Calls. Here's a cut from one of them, in case you need a lift. Listen to how uncomfortable I make this manager at The Olive Garden. That's the key, I think to comedy..when the listener's mind says "Oh NO! STOP!" You just keep going. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVFagB_hFPQ
