ZERO MOSTEL From Stephen Sondheim’s “Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum”
Editor’s Note: If any of you know a short joke and want to share it on BF, send us your comedy resume and your joke to blogfinger@verizon.net. As you can see from Jack’s performance, you don’t have to be so good (Sorry Jack, you were mahvelous! )
Also, to win a prize at Season’s General Store at 69 Main Avenue in OG, you must be the first to show up at 113 Mt Hermon Way, starting Monday afternoon, and correctly pronounce the work “shtick” as if you were a Borscht Belt comedian. All entries are final, and my relatives cannot enter. Eileen and I will be the judges and we do not accept bribes, not even authentic halavah made by experts in Brooklyn or Jerusalem.
OGrover. Thank you for the tour of Sandy Hook. There was a girl in my high school class named Sandy Hook. Next time you send us something terrific like this, you might consider using your real name. By the way, do you want to tell us what you were doing in the ammo bunker with the lights out?
Yankee George. I like your style. Let me know when I can video you on your porch. Get a good joke ready. It doesn’t have to be one or two lines, but it needs to be brief.
Also, who the heck is Mike? How did he get into the act? Maybe you meant Paulie D.
Now if you want to know somebody really funny, take my wife, please; and her name isn’t Mike.
Can’t wait until tomorrow’s performance.
Mike, Jack and Paul should be on the stage…….there’s one leaving town in ten minutes.
Love it Paulie D. Find another joke and let me know when you are in town. I’m thinking we need a boobie prize. Maybe a cream pie in the face.
This is how Jack and I greet each other each week:
Jack .. Have you seen a policeman?
Me.. No
Jack.. Then stick um up!
Hey Finger– great segment. Love the jokes. I thought Jack was great— a star is born
