Spring Break is providing me the opportunity to finally finish reading a Christmas present from Mrs. Poteet. I’m almost done with “Born Standing Up,” from Steve Martin. He’s as funny in print, as some of you may already know. Here’s an opening line from his act, circa ’76: “I have decided to give the greatest performance of my life! (beat…..) Oh wait, sorry, that’s tomorrow night.”
Meanwhile, I have decided to write the greatest Blog Entry Ever! Oh. Wait…
Here are two other random lines from the book I wish I’d thought of first. “I think communication is so firsbern.” OK, maybe not THAT one. But I love this one: “I’m so depressed today. I just found out this ‘death thing’ applies to me.” Now THAT kills!
Great book – I got that as a Christmas present as well.
I had his book ‘Cruel Shoes’ when I was a kid.
I can’t wait to read this one.
