superlative comedy
I try not to listen to other people’s conversations on the subway because I want to maintain that private-in-public barrier where we all ignore each other and pretend the podcasts we listen to are much more interesting than everybody else’s.
The other day, I accidentally let down my guard as a group of 300 pound tourists entered the train. One of the guys let out this little gem:
“Guys, I’ve got this new joke I’m working on. It’s about a cat. Who steals your breath as you sleep. I haven’t worked it out yet, but you wake up not having had a very good sleep.”
