christmas, i made snow angels. i skidded on the ice and took out three pedestrians. [ light laughter ] [ audience ohs ] they're just jokes. [ light laughter ] that's bad example. that last one happened. but most of them are just jokes. [ laughter ] i got talking to a north african girl in her native language for hours. we just clicked. [ laughter and applause ] anthropology jokes, everyone. some comics lie to an audiencece they pretend they recently broke up witita girl, that she left for another guy. it's a total lie. the reason they tell that lie is to elicit sympathy from attractive female audience members, so then after the show they can get talking to them. they've got the sympathy in, and they can try and pick them up and ultimately try and sleep with them. rest assured, i would never do that, because i think it would be disrespectful to the memory of my wife.

[ laughter and applause ] i've got a question for everyone in here. who here has had bad sex? who's not saying it because they're with the person they had the bad sex with? [ laughter ] there's something you can get, ntlemen, if you have or you perceive that you have a small penis. it's called an audi convertible. [ light laughter ] have you got an audi convertible there, sir? [ light laughter ] have you?
12:30 am
she just gave you a look like something in the joke related to you. [ light laughter ] and you're saying it definitely wasn't the car. [ light laughter ] my jokes occasionally get me into trouble. i got stopped speeding recently and the officer came to the window of my car, as they do, and he said, " do you know how fast you were going?" and i said, "i'm sorry, it was clearly too fast, my apologies." he said, "88 miles an hour." i said, "i was trying to get back to 1955." [ light laughter ] [ applause ] the most common superstition in the world today is the belief in horoscopes. and there's a name for people that believe in horoscopes. they're called single women.
