Sitting down to some stand-up
I'm sitting here working on some statistics and not enjoying the sound of the laser printer, outside. So I created a playlist of all the unplayed tracks in my MP3 library and found a Woody Allen CD in there that I haven't listened to since I copied everything over from the laptop with the 'just about to break' hard disk.
Woody is a genius. The way he tells his stories is as important as the stories he tells, but in among the brilliant stories in his stand up routines are some fantastic jokes. This must be one of the best jokes ever told:
I was in NYU, my freshman year I cheated on my Metaphysics final. I looked within the soul of the boy sitting next to me.
It's a perfect joke. It's a shame Woody doesn't do stand-up any more.
