real justice needs
Real comedy can't be learned; it comes from a need for justice. The best who stand up, stand up for something.
sex believe school
People want sex education out of the schools. They believe sex education causes promiscuity. Hey, I took algebra, but I never do math.
sex men males
Men in power always seem to get involved in sex scandals, but women don't even have a word for 'male bimbo.' Except maybe 'senator.
sex book hot
I read books that say if you want to keep sex hot you tell a person what you want. How do you tell 'em you want somebody else?
weekend people parent
I love my parents and they're wonderful people, but they were strict, and I still look for ways to get even. When I got my own apartment for the very first time and they came to stay with me for the weekend, I made them stay in separate bedrooms.
cutting editors space
While editors and newspaper owners currently fret over shrinking readership and lost profits, they do the one thing that insures cutting their own throats; they keep reducing space for the one feature that attracts new young readers in the first place; the comic strips.
intelligent news pages
I've thought for the last decade or so, the only actual place raw truth was seeping through in newspapers was on the Comics Pages. They were able to pull off intelligent social comment, pure truths not found elsewhere in the news pages, and had the ability to make it all funny, entertaining, and pertinent.
teenager turkeys names
Turkeys know their names, come when you call, and are totally affectionate. They're better than teenagers.
comedian casinos bombs
There are many comedians who are afraid to work outside the coasts and the casinos because they're afraid they'll bomb.
fun san-francisco people
San Francisco is really fun and liberal, and it's my kind of politics. It's like being Jewish in front of Jewish people.
religious my-family non-religious
My family was totally non-religious. There was no question we were Jewish, but we were not observant.
writing able
I've never been able to write for stand-up.
clubs masons theater
I'd much rather see Richard Pryor or Jackie Mason in a theater than in a club.
giving-money television hiv
Wouldn't it be great if you could only get AIDS by giving money to television preachers?
