Granddaddy Stand-Up
I was in the super market this morning buying breakfast things when I overheard this old man tell a joke to the benevolent but unamused lady cashier:
"...So one night I'm in bed with my wife and I asked her to talk dirty to me. So she says, 'the kitchen, the bathroom, the garage...'"
Faced with the complete and utter silence that greeted this joke, and perhaps noticing my expression of incredulity and muted outrage (it took me a second to realize he was telling a joke and not actually reporting details of sexual congress with his wife to a total stranger) he added loudly, "I don't care what anyone says! It's a good joke." And then followed up with a line about how "Gristedes" translates from Greek as "Robbed Blind."
Maybe cashiers are the only people he has to talk to?
