You ever hear a joke and you go, how is that a joke?

I mean, there's a lot of variances of this.

Sometimes someone will have an insult

and you go, that's not an insult.

That is actually what I believe

and that is what I said or that is what I'd like to do.

That's what I'm talking about.

That's just like people trying to be funny

when they get the target wrong

or they get the background wrong.

I'm talking about jokes where you just go,

you got the cadence and everything down,

but you're not riffing.

And I've noticed this happen more and more,

especially now that I live in the suburbs.

There was this kid the other day at the hardware store

and she goes to get a coloring book,

you know, those last minute impulse buys.

So she reaches back and she grabs a comic

and the mom goes, yeah, whatever.

That's my, the price you gotta pay

for taking a kid to a hardware store.
