On Saying Something Funny

Guy:  So, what do you do?

Me:  Well, I do a lot of improv comedy and a fair amount of comedic writing, so I guess I’m a comedian.

Guy:  Oh yeah?  Say something funny.

Me:  Right now?

Guy:  Yeah, right now.  You’re the comedian.

Me:  What do you do for a living?

Guy:  I’m an architect.

Me:  Design me a house.

Guy:  Right now?

Me:  Yeah, right now.  You’re the architect.

Guy:  Well, I can’t do it right now.  I need a certain amount of preparation and time to design a house as well as an idea of what kind of house I’d be designing.

Me:  Exactly.

Guy:  So, say something funny.

Me:  (sigh)  Sprazzwinkle.

Guy:  Heh.  Heh heh.
