friendship funny-friend problem
My friends tell me I have an intimacy problem. But they don't really know me.
dad nice writing
I remember learning to drive on my dad's lap. Did you guys ever do that? He'd work the brakes. I'd work the wheel. Then I went to take the driver's test and sat on the examiner's lap. I failed the exam. But he still writes to me. That's the really nice part.
night fifteen hours
I once made love for an hour and fifteen minutes, but it was the night the clocks are set ahead.
survival able defense
Without comedy as a defense mechanism I wouldn't be able to survive.
marriage wife married
Was the Buddha married? His wife would say, "Are you just going to sit around like that all day?"
television firsts carols
Carol Burnett was particularly funny. She swore for the first time on television on Larry Sanders.
single phones people
I'm too shy to express my sexual needs except over the phone to people I don't know.
names hiding-something dr-phil
Dr. Phil is hiding something. Otherwise, why wouldn't he use his last name?
oysters performances
Oysters are supposed to enhance your sexual performance, but they don't work for me. Maybe I put them on too soon.
done puppets pitching
I've never had anyone put on a puppet show to convince me of anything. And I've done a lot of stuff. I don't know that I would put the puppets on when I was pitching a show. This was the head of the studio putting a puppet show on. And I'll tell you, he wasn't bad.
beauty perfectionist term
I am pretty tenacious as a perfectionist in terms of getting something right.
party guy
I'm not a party guy. I don't carouse very much.
night use guests
You know it's funny that none of the regular late-night shows now use guest hosts the way Johnny did. No one talks about it much, but it's curious that they don't do it. They would each have to be asked the reason why they don't.
valentines-day single funny-love
I'm dating a woman now who, evidently, is unaware of it.
