I found myself in the club Quo (28th and 10th Ave NYC). A cute spot but the dirtiest bathrooms I’ve ever seen in my life, HANDS DOWN! I hit the bar immediately because the drinks I had earlier were fading fast and I wanted to “stay on the 53rd floor.” The bartender comes over, takes my order then proceeds to mix one of the worst drink I’ve had in a long time. I could tell by the way he nervously tipped the bottle over the glass like he was afraid to pour too much Iiquor which led me to believe the drink would to be worthless. I took a sip and my assumptions were confirmed. The drink was so weak it wouldn’t give a infant fetal alcohol syndrome even if you served it to him straight.
So I say to the bartender “I can’t taste anything.” Then he proceeds to inform me that he could make the drink stronger IF I gave him a tip. Tip? TIP? First of all, a tip is courtesy from me to you. It’s a way to say “thank you for your consideration and going beyond the call of duty. For example, a cab driver getting you to your destination in a timely fashion despite heavy traffic, a bellhop taking your heavy luggage to your room despite the fact elevators are out or a messenger waiting 20 extra minutes while you package up what you want him to deliver. If you’re doing your job regular then what you’re getting paid covers that. You get tipped when you do your job great just because you showed up to work. That’s your job asshole!
“Who made the machine that Koreans use to shrink all their chickens?”
Welcome Home!
Finally back on US soil and excited to be back although I’m feeling like maybe I should have tried to smuggle a little of the green I picked up in Seoul Korea because they totally skipped the pelvic exam I heard about. All I can think about is getting home and slipping into a long hot bath to wash away the dust, funk and recycled airplane air that I’m sure holds a hint of swine flu. My hands feel my stomach that has now morphed into a somewhat deflated basketball. My eyes bulge and I’m overcome with a sense of satisfaction. That’s right! It’s official I’m A Rock Star! That’s right, two and a half weeks in Seoul Korea, rocking shows, meeting awesome soldiers, getting drunk with awesome solider’s, hanging out late and sleeping in. I don’t know what you would call it but check the index in my book and you’ll find it under Rock Star *Ish!!
I may be wrong but I’ve thought long and hard about this and refuse to resign my position: I Do Not agree that you should go out of the country and deny yourself of their cuisines, desserts nor liquors. That’s just rude! Okay, so what I was eating on United States Military Bases and most of the meals and their menus were American, the fact is they were prepared with Native hands, (Oh Shit…is that PC to say? You know what I mean). That double cheese burger with chili cheese fries didn’t prepare itself. It was the Korean pots and stove and of course the water from their questionable pipes (I don’t care if that’s not PC. They tell you at the airport don’t drink the water!). “Extra cheese for your burger ma’am?” The server asks as she places a batch of Buffalo wings before me.
SIDEBAR: Who made the machine that Koreans use to shrink all their chickens? Their wings are freakishly tiny. Not to glorify the Protein shake, Steroid, Barry Bonds/Mark McGuire American wings but Korean wings look like they came from a one week old chick. But I digress…
“Extra cheese for your burger ma’am?” Without hesitation I say ‘you’re damn right” and offer the thumbs up, the universal symbol for “Let’s Do This!” It’s simply math, with the dollar exchange I’m only paying $.23 for that extra slice.
Sitting at breakfast one morning I’m informed by an evil server bitch who was possibly disturbed by my multiple trips to the elaborate buffet spread that “the hotel has a state of the art recreation facility that all guests have access to at your convenience ma’am.” INSERT FAKE SMILE HERE! Look, I have a gym membership I’ve been very successful at ignoring in the states. I’m on vacation and I believe that no vacation should include working out unless you’re running for a cab, bus, train, or the last serving of something. If I want to get in shape I’ll take a stroll up a mountain in hopes of getting chased a mile or two by a rabid panda bear or whatever deadly animal that lurks high in their mountains. Or maybe I’ll get a side job operating a Mandalay you know, the cart that serves as a taxi for people in Asia or out of work actors in NYC.
So in closing I believe that going away means doing everything that goes against your regular routine: Eating then falling directly asleep, passing gas in an elevator, being mean to kids, and anything else obnoxious but nothing that won’t land you in jail! I mean how else do you think great travel stories are created?

I’m sending this out to all the people who meet comedians and think a great icebreaker is “Say Something Funny.” No GotDammit! I’m funny; I’m not a clown. Comedians are people first. You can talk to us like you would a teacher, bus driver, waiter or a police officer (if you’re not high on cocaine with a drink in your hand and a gun in your lap). We think deeply about family, politics, economics, etc. Often times a comedian is much more informed because everyday we read the paper and watch the news for fresh material.
If you want to know how funny a comedian is here are a few suggestions:
1. Ask about their next show, buy a ticket and check them out for yourself. Then tell a friend and check them out again. All comedians want a following.
2. Research. Ever heard of the internet? You can find unlimited comedy clips from any and everyone on Earth.
3. Buy them a drink, sit back and wait. A true comedian is funny in everything they do without effort. Their energy, expressions and delivery are hilarious. Before you know it you’ll be laughing you’re a** off. It’s like having “the Glow” (Last Dragon, 1985).
Try them people. Trust me, of the three options, one will work for you. What won’t work is that lame request when I’m standing in line at the pharmacy trying to discretely buy condoms or tampons. Its embarrassing and awkward.
What do I say, when someone asks me to “be funny” you ask? I say: ‘It’s funny the zoo doesn’t know you broke out of your cage.” Don’t get mad. I just gave you what you wanted, me to say something funny. Now enjoy it!
