I caught a bit of a comedy routine on one of Sirius’ comedy channels a few months ago, and I don’t remember the comedian. I remember laughing so hard at one point I could barely breathe. :eek: Can one of you help? The comedian was a guy, and his bit was about how one night he was at bingo with his mother. One of the old ladies tried to encourage him to buy a pull-tab, saying “They’re selling like hotcakes.” The guy then tries to engage the old lady in a philosophical/linguistic dissertation about the dichotomous nature of pull tabs and hotcakes… or something like that. Does anyone know who I’m talking about? ---
