And he reacted quite satisfactorily. His jaw dropped. His wife, this was a few years ago, but his wife got the joke immediately. The better part of the joke is I was being literal. I really am a nerd. Yeah. I'm the kind of guy in the late 60s in high school. I wear a plastic pocket protector, thick black glasses taped together, no social skills.

I had to originate the thing. You found the store of old photos. That's me in high school. Those are the thick black glasses. Not taped together at the time. Now see, I can simulate or fake normal human social behavior now, but it is a simulation. I have to work hard on it all the time. And after a while, I will start getting cranky. Okay.

And, well, I'm near where I live, in the village not far away, walking distance. I have a friend, my comedy consultant, and he lived here during that heyday. He knew both of them and others. He was intimidated by Leonard Cohen. See, this friend was in the process of transitioning from music to comedy, which turned out to be easier for him to do. He was really big in the 70s and 80s.

He may not have invested well because I saw him yesterday, but he's much funnier than I am for real. Yeah, okay. And that's why I know that I'm not as funny as I think I am. Very fair. Look, you're doing okay with me so far. Thank you. If I knew you better, I'd, I believe comedians indulge in a practice called breaking balls. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, that's a good starting point. But he's given me a couple jokes to use, reminding me that at his age and my age, when you get down to tie your shoes... you look around and you think, what else can I do while I'm down here? And unfortunately, that's turned true. When I do get down, I have some worries about being able to get back up again.

Okay, that's older school even for Leonard. All the way to hell. And he'd be like, all right, I'll clean. Yeah, I vaguely remembered him, well... In like 88 or so, I'm Your Man premiered, and I love that. First, we'll take Manhattan, and then I found various positions. What is that first, we'll take Manhattan?
