table laugh
the player in seat six, across from the dealer, has his phone ring.
dealer says, "if that is my wife tell her i am not here."
i say, "if that is his wife, tell her i am not here either."
in a club a comic gets a "house laugh." here i got a "table laugh."

hey I heard you on XM radio, I guess you like stealing jokes from Bill Hicks eh? Oh well, not everyone can be a good comedian.
jimmy,
just what are you referring to in your post? what is on my c.d.'s is MY material, most of which i have been doing for years. bill was one of my best friends and we both started in the same club. some similar material devoloped because our interests and passions were the same. on one of his specials, bill did a lengthy bit of mine, "dinosars and the english translation of the bible." when bill called me and told me this i was very proud and told him so. so, young man, (i presume you are a young man) just what piece of material are you talking about and bandying such accusations about me?
What, eh, Jimmy, they don't have plagiarists in Canada?
Okay, here's an original joke for you: What do you call oral stimulation of females in Canada who can speak both English and French? "Cunni-bi-lingus".
I didn't steal that there joke from no one.
dear j.m.
funny!
r.s.
p.s. i promise not to use it.
It HAD to have been Easter. Hicks did something similar on "Rant in E Minor" ...
It would seem to me that, to level such an accusation, you have to be a little naive, even if it's unintentional, to Hicks' back story and the Texas Outlaws. And if you're a naive Hicks fan, then you probably own one CD, and that of course is "Rant in E Minor."
And of all the stuff on your CDs -- which is all they play on XM is CD cuts -- Easter is the only bit that overlaps with Hicks' stuff.
...
But as long as we're talking about stealing material, I stole one of Ron's jokes this weekend. Actually, I made a variation of the joke so it would match the appropriate holiday. A friend of mine was trying to talk me into joining him in Vegas:
HIM: "Hey. You're always going to Vegas. I'm going in November with my wife to a convention. You ought to come along."
ME: "Well, I usually go to Vegas at Christmas, so I can go to the midnight mass and Texas Hold Em tournament."
(pause)
ME: "HOLY FLOP!"
...
Then he went on my blog and accused me of stealing it from Ron and not being as funny as Ron.
i don't have rant c.d. so i don't know what bill did on "easter" but the easter bunny and easter has been done by many comics including carl la bove. many of houston were interested in or had background in "religion" so many bits had a "anti-church" or "anti- preacher" bent to them.
whoever the poster was has not written back but i am waiting.
Bill's line is: "In England, interestingly, they celebrate Easter the way we do here. By telling children that a giant bunny rabbit laid chocolate eggs in the night. ... And we wonder why we're fucked up as a race."
Then he went on this whole diatribe about why a rabbit and chocolate were selected to represent the resurrection anyway. "Why not, a goldfish left Lincoln Logs in your sock drawer? At least that has some miraculous connotations to it."
Anyway, that's the one that came to my mind. I couldn't find any other overlapping material on either of your collections.
