I don't live in the Bay Area, but I when i see Bay Area people slip on banana peels, I laugh my head off.   </p>

<p><strong>Any advice to aspiring comedians? </strong><br>
Don't say, "Sorry," after your punch lines.           </p>

<p><strong>What makes a joke funny? </strong><br>
Incongruency.   (I read that when I was in college and first interested in comedy. It's still the biggest word I know.)</p>

<p><strong>Is there anything that is not funny?</strong><br>
Congruency.</p>

<p><strong>Please tell us a San Francisco joke</strong><br>
A grasshopper, walks into a bar in San Francisco, wearing a San Francisco t-shirt.   The bartender, a native of San Francisco, says to the grasshopper, "Hey, we have a drink named after you."   The grasshopper, a huge fan of both the San Fransisco 49ers and the San Fransisco Giants, asks, "You have a drink named Steve?" </p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
