Sorry, not that I would want to write in text form. Part of the engineering process for me involves things like getting the inflection just right when I tell it. Also, I've forgotten 99% of it and I'd have to go dig up old notebooks in storage. I haven't been on stage and behind a mic in at least 15 years. Also, I did somewhat longer-form stuff than one-liners in general.

I had a good long bit about how dogs are better than kids because they're stupid so you can trick them more easily into doing things to amuse you, but it really is in the way you tell them.

That said, as someone who now has a kid and dogs, I stand by that statement. Fake throwing a ball and having the dog try to find it is one of the funniest things in the world to me.

Well, you could try it with your kids and see how it goes ๐Ÿ˜

I already know what would happen. My daughter would ignore me and continue talking about obscure anime most Americans have never heard of or whatever. Teenagers could not give less of a fuck. I forgot about how that was.

Get her to help you make meme templates from that obscure anime, as a bonding exercise. ;)
