Quote of the Week

I went to a comedy show in Ocala with Scott and Jess (the other tech writer from the quiet office). The headliner was Bruce Baum (you’d recognize him if you saw him), but I think that Scott and I were really going to see Terry Jaymes of Lex and Terry morning radio show fame.

The crowd was very, uh, varied. It ran the gamut from me to rip-roarin’, drunk beyond reason rednecks. Somewhere in the middle was the guy who sat in front of us. He was slightly necky, but nice. He was wearing a Bruce Baum t-shirt (come on guy, don’t wear the shirt of the band you’re going to see), and he kept turning around to talk to us and commiserate about the annoying drunk yellers around us.

I guess he is also a Lex and Terry fan because before the show started, he spotted Terry in the hall and ran out to shake his hand. When he came back into the room and took his seat, he turned around and looked at Scott and I.

“That was Terry! He looks different than on the radio,” he said excitedly.

“Yeah,” Scott said, “He looks different on my radio.”

The guy stopped and laughed, “Oh, you know what I mean.”

I laughed and Scott said, “Wow, he could have either hit me or laughed. I was hoping since I’m holding a drink that he’d laugh. Whew.”

Oh yeah, quote of the week.
