Hi Gershon, hope I'm not annoying you, but can you save me a ticket to your comedy show.

No annoyance, John. I've sat you behind a Pole, if that's ok... That's a Polish person (not a pole!). He's a little loud, but what the heck. It's better than my 'comedy!'

Ha ha ha love your comparison to the two Gershon. You had me laughing on this one. I appreciate the explanation at the bottom. I had an idea of the Hoya Paranoia but your side note reinforced and educated me fully on the meaning. It was a wonderful comparison, thanks for the laughter my friend. Next I will be seeing you perform Stand up comedy. Can I get in half price for knowing you at the comedy club? lol.
