Making fun of the headlines today, so you don’t have to

The news, even that about Larry the Cat, doesn’t need to be complicated or confusing; that’s what any new release from Microsoft is for. And, as in the case with anything from Microsoft, to keep the news from worrying our pretty little heads over, remember something new and equally indecipherable will come out soon: Really all you need to do is follow one simple rule: barely pay attention and jump to conclusions. So, here are some headlines today and my first thoughts: [caption id="attachment_120872" align="aligncenter" width="1000"]Larry the Cat Larry the Cat, Chief Mouser at 10 Downing Street.[/caption]

Wherein our intrepid talk radio show host interviews actor, comedy writer and comedian Larry David.

ANNOUNCER Live from under a rock in your backyard, it's The Jerry Duncan Show. JERRY DUNCAN Good morning listeners nationwide. Is it a good morning? We'll soon find out. My guest is actor, comedy writer and comedian Larry David. [caption id="attachment_118554" align="alignleft" width="400"]Comedian Larry David Comedian Larry David. Photo: Angela George, CC BY-SA 3.0.[/caption] LARRY DAVID I made it on The Jerry Duncan Show. Pretty, pretty good. JERRY You've been around a long time. 76-years-old. Wrote or co-wrote every episode of Seinfeld for 7 years. Nominated for 30 Primetime Emmy Awards for Curb Your Enthusiasm. Yet, you're insecure. LARRY Unfortunately, my wife left me because I am insecure. Oh wait, she's back. I guess she just went to the grocery store. Jerry, I've been seeing a shrink since I found out Senator Bernie Sanders is my 6th cousin removed. I can't sleep at night. JERRY Which reminds me. Bernie Sanders walks into a bar and yells, "Free drinks for everyone! Now who's paying?" LARRY When did he say that? JERRY It's a joke. LARRY (angry) Not to me! How dare you bring Bernie into the conversation. JERRY You started it. This 6th cousin removed bullshit. LARRY Don't listen to me, my best friend is a goldfish. JERRY Seems you have a bad case of immaturity. LARRY Who are you, Freud? This is a lifetime of GROW THE F UP! JERRY Calm down. Here's a sedative. LARRY Thank you. The last time I took one of those pills was in Hebrew School. And that was the first day. JERRY Before you got started in television, you were a limo driver, store clerk, and bra salesman. LARRY My mother told me if you want stability, be a postman. The postal service and comedians have something in common. It's in the delivery. JERRY You sold bras? LARRY Women trusted me. I always told them, "If your cup is only half full, you probably need a different bra." JERRY You got a big break writing for Saturday Night Live, then walked off the job because your material wasn't being used. LARRY Don't ask. Why do you think I'm bald? JERRY It gets better. After quitting, you showed up at work two days later like nothing happened. LARRY Why not? I had a written excuse from a psychiatrist. Trust me, people know I'm not lying when I say I'm crazy. JERRY Are you still friends with Jerry Seinfeld? LARRY Who? JERRY I've noticed that you've lost weight over the years. You're too skinny. LARRY Yeah. My skinny jeans and cheap hotels are alike. No ball room. JERRY Be honest. Did you really pummel tickling Elmo in the face on the Today Show? LARRY Absolutely. The stupid puppet refused to tell me how to get to Sesame Street. JERRY Comedian Larry David everyone. See you tomorrow.   The Jerry Duncan Show (c) Dean B.

Sitting at the Exit Seat should be a paid position.

Premature Evacuation: Exit Seat

I'm not talkin' a fly by night deal - I mean a real job with Layovers in Barstow, Moosejaw & Cleveland!  And, a Uniform that would make your Marching Band proud! That's right; getting paid to sit in the coveted Exit Seat Row!  And yes, guys - 7 Extra Inches!  Sorry Ladies - that's Extra Leg Room & your chance to be a Heroine.  Personally, I never wanted to be a Heroine - and so far it's working out for me! Actually, I think there should be an Audition for this position Pre-Boarding.  You know, like the old 'Test Your Strength - Hi Striker' Carnival Game; where you hoist a sledge hammer to make a bell sound & at the same time; impress a female.  It's true; more babies are born 9 months after hitting that sucker - than say, after Bowling!  But I digress.

This 'Jobs on Planes' notion came to me last week as the Airline made a big mistake when they chose me to man the Exit Row! 'PULL'?  Are you kidding - half the time I 'PUSH' when a door says 'Pull'!  Besides, they ask you to assist other passengers.  Now, that's going too far!  I'm way too narcissistic & entitled for that; every 4 Way STOP Sign I've ever gone thru - I got a Ticket!

Premature Evacuation: Exit Seat

Even Larry David had the same predicament on "Curb Your Enthusiasm" & cried out, "I panic, I choke under pressure; I can not be of any help whatsoever in any Unconditional Landing or Conditional Landing"!

Of course, it was funnier when he said it! Surprisingly; most people do say 'yes' when asked if we are ready, willing & able to sit in 'the hot seat' & perform the required tasks - but we're just glad to get out of that groping TSA Line and after paying $15 for a Hot Dog at the Gate - we're ready to do anything! So there I sat, 'Battle Ready', never leaving my Post - even when nature called; thinking "I should get paid for this"!  During the flight, as passengers walked by my row; I could feel their safety confidence level dissipate as they shook their heads & clutched their rosaries to their chest.   Standing at a petite 5'0; Sitting, much less - I pressed the button above me to get some reassurance from the Stewardess assigned to Coach. When she finally came; I had finished my lunch, read "War & Peace", sprouted 3 new grey hairs & knitted a Shawl with an inscription - $25 Dollars a Suitcase?  Give me 30 & it's yours! And, she scolded, "How did you get those Knitting Needles thru Security"?  I said, "I have "Nature Call-Waiting"!
