Hello Bugle!

Hello Buglers and welcome to Bugle issue 78 for the week beginning

Monday the 15th of June 2009 with me and his Altzman independently

verifiable as being here in London

and rumor has it in New York City.

It's the Joe Montana of Jokes, the Wayne Gretzky of Weiscracks,

the Billy Jean King of Banta and the sea biscuit of satire.

It's John Oliver.

I'm the Joe Montana, and I send my punchlines long and I find them with a hail Mary.

It was interesting, John, that you aligned yourself there with Joe Montana rather than a sea biscuit.

Because you said what was it? You said you throw your jokes, you throw your puns lines along no I send them long

send them long and he and I connect with them with the hell Mary pass you know if you've

been the sea biscuit then you'd have just shut them out in a field. Yeah, I guess I'll see myself more as a Montana than a sea biscuit.

Right, okay, very tough.

Tuing setups and dumping out punchlines.

Uh, hello Andy, hello Bugas, I'm in New York but I am on my way to Bonaru later the outdoor

music festival in Tennessee where I'm going to be doing stand up over the weekend.

Now the important part of this story though Andy is that this means that I'm sharing a

bill with Snoop Doggy Dog. It was about time this happened and I naturally presumed it would happen a lot sooner.

I like to think that he's sharing a bill with you, mate.

That's a lovely thing to say.
