Since you want to get off & I want to get on - it gives me great pleasure to get back on the Stage & onto Salon's Platform! You see; I need to - I'm 5'0 Feet - 5'8 in Heels!
For those who don't know me - I opened up for Tony Albergetti, Louis Feldman & Charlie O'Brien. Oh, on Stage? Never mind!
It's the 1980's - Picture a smoky room, clinking glasses & an occasional Blender whirring Margarita's right as I get to the Punch Line!
But I don't have that here on "Salon - After Dark"; I have guys in Pajamas belching & scratching - or even worse - using one hand to scroll past my "Set Up"; to get down to the Money Shot!
Comedy Clubs then were a lot like they are now - but without "Weapon Detectors". Yes; we got away with murder!
You can believe or not believe - if any of my Act is true - as long as you laugh & remember -
"You only get what you pay for"!
But then again - I got some better stuff in the back of the truck! ha ha
***
There are a lot of men here. I love that. Let me take a head count 2,4,6,8!
I see you're all dressed up tonight - coats, ties, condoms!
Okay, Plan B!
My husband had 4 wives before me. I call them Grumpy, Sleepy, Sleazy & Dopey.
No, it's not easy being the 5th wife - after sex he calls out 4 other names plus his before he gets to me!
Sleazy comes over all the time. She says she's so embarrassed - one of her old boy friends recognized her at the Golf Course. After he hit the ball - he yelled, "Whore"!
My family doesn't know I'm doing this - they think I'm out selling Amway!
Sleazy thinks a "Stupid Pet Trick" is when she's necking in the back seat of a Volkswagen & her Garter Belt gets stuck in the Gear Shift!
She's something - she uses her old Diaphragm as a Trampoline!
I'm on a roll now!
For her, "Sex" is a 4 Letter Word: "Sure"!
I see I found the level of this crowd!
In school her Motto was "E Pluribus Uterus"!
At Christmas - who do you think started "Mistletongue"?
Do I go to your house & moan?
For God's sake - the music "Bolero" was her Wedding March!
Well, Sleazy has a Diaphragm that Talks!
Excuse me...Critiques!
This morning - she let me listen.
(cough, cough) "Hey, enough already with the Foam Machine - you could kill crops with this"!
"Oh no - here comes the Talking Dirty part I hate".
"Same ol' same ol'". "You're the 1st! Sure. Today"!
"And it's not Jack - it's Bob"!
"Oh no. The Telephone! Oh good - the Machine...
"Sleazy can't come to the phone right now, so leave your name & length when you hear the Tone"!
"Oh, I see ya...Jewish, yeah? It figures - 2 Condoms"!
(motions like a Trucker) "Okay. All the way back - plenty of room"!
"Save it Sweetie"! Look Thunder Thighs; let's face it - you're a "B" Actress...
you never had one ...never will"!
"AMATEUR"!
Thank you very much Salon - you've been a great audience!
** Exclusively for "Salon - After Dark" Just a few jokes from the early days. In my edgy Act I covered: Topical, Political, Celebrities, my fictional husband & never uttered an expletive! And really don't want to go back up there. Writing, in every possible form; suits me best!

All kidding aside, this post was funny. I love your line about not using profanity. It is so true. Too many comics these days rely on swear words to get a laugh. On the other hand, you showed us the funny (sans cursing).

And thanks for the mention of not cursing (for the sake of cursing) in my Act. It certainly was all around me. And on a daily basis; I could see when someone used those words - they got an instant laugh - but I never wanted to go there.
