Witty, but not exactly funny. Maybe it would get laughs with the right delivery. |

| Well, I think it's hard to make fun of him because he's kinda cool. I mean, he reminds me of my kinda "hip" university professors who seem "in the know" of what's going on... with the world.. etc. He even has a bit of a swagger to him as he walks. Confident, but not over confident. I hate to be reverse racist here, but he kinda strikes me as "cool" in a way... partly because of his blackness. But cool also because he doesn't seem to "conform" to black or white stereotypes. I think most jokes are centered around stereotypes... |

Can you put me right on that? Seriously, the knack I apparently lack is maybe why I have a stutter and sometimes end up lashing out. |
