So I’m in Las Vegas for a gig today
and I thought I’d look for 5 funny things that I can joke with. If you get into a habit of looking for the funny, then it becomes easier and easier until you’re doing it automatically.

So here’s 5 funny things in Vegas. . .
1, Sushi is being sold at
Walgreens. Why is that funny – Walgreens is a drug store so they are creating their own patients! Vegas is a desert. . . not sure where the salmon is coming from. Eating Sushi From Walgreens is code word for “Salmonilla”. . .or maybe instead of Salmon, they have Salmonilla (spelling???). There are so many ways you can go with this one. One of my first jokes was about sushi. . . “We had sushi for dinner. That’s raw fish. I’m thinking what are they gonna serve us for desert? Cake Batter?”
2, It is
Freezing here. Again, this is a desert. Also, there are strippers here. . .which could lead to jokes like “it’s so cold even the strippers are XXX.” Ok, what would strippers do when it’s cold? Only strip to the g-string? dance for warmth? It’s also windy here. . .so there’s an anology between blowing your money and your hair at the same time.
3. I’m in Vegas and am doing a show for
financial investors. Yeah, people who invest other people’s money! “I’m not sure how my stocks are doing. . .it depends on how well my financial planner does at the craps table.” Why would financial people come to Vegas to relax? Whose money are they gambling with anyway???
4. I’m at the Paris hotel and it is
smokey from all the smokers. Which seems appropriate for Paris. So I guess I can go to New York, New York to get robbed or the Egyptian hotel the Luxor for lunch to get a “wrap.” The hotel names and what we associate with those names will are easy, funny things to joke about.
