Hey, Define This
Lately, I’ve noticed that most of my postings are not been about exploring and expanding my knowledge of that which surrounds me. I really enjoy looking up obscure topics and finding out what makes them tick or why they are what they are. Most of my postings lately have been about what I am doing or thinking at the time. Of course, much of it is conjecture or just plain rambling so I guess I’m covered.
Now it would be a perfect time to launch into a definition of the word this, since it is in the title and would be the implied subject. However, I am not going there. I would rather talk about a comedy routine that I saw several months ago.
I have seen a lot of comedians on Comedy Central. I watched it in its infancy when it was mostly people on stage doing their routines. Although I no longer have Comedy Central on my TV buffet of channels (I have basic cable because there are 300 channels and there is nothing on), I was flipping through the 300+ channels and happened to stick on what was the last comedy routine I found funny and the first routine I though was good for quite a while.
I do not remember the comics name but he was a story teller with a big Brooklyn accent. His routine revolved around his moving around the country with his family and the relatives that lived in each of the areas. He had a cousin in Brooklyn with a restaurant named “Hey, Eat This” and an Uncle in Chicago with a gas station named “Hey, Pump This”. There were several other relatives that had places named Hey, “fill in verb” This” and it culminated in his Uncle who lived in New Jersey. He owned a vacuum cleaner shop. At that point, the audience was laughing hysterically. He said, “You know what the name of it was, it was Sal’s Vacuum Cleaner Sales. Whad you think I was gonna say?”
