If you feel like laughing today, and I can't imagine why you wouldn't, do yourself a favor (I don't spell with British u's anymore. Sad, isn't it?) and do a YouTube search (or click here) for the late comedian, Mitch Hedberg. The man was hilarious. He also had bad stage fright and drug issues, which explains why he was usually shaking and wearing dark glasses, and why he died of an overdose.
He was still very, very funny though.
"I bought a seven-dollar pen because I always lose pens and I got sick of not caring."
"Rice is great if you're really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something. "
"I would imagine that if you could understand Morse code, a tap dancer would drive you crazy. "
You should also do a search for "Japanese Game Shows." You'll be shocked and amazed at what those crazy asians do for comedic relief.

I saw Mitch at the Just for Laughs Festival in Mtl in 2005 (I think, maybe it was 04) he was absolutely brilliant. What a shame he died so young. He was the kind of guy who didn't want to become an actor or have his own show. He was just happy being a comedian. Hope all is well!
