A lesser person would mock you. A lesser person would politely ignore you. A lesser person would say you're funny in a very facetious tone of voice. A lesser person would tell you to take that act on the road. A lesser person would tell you you're not as funny as the dude on the stage. A lesser person would tell you that you DO NOT have a chance with the large groups of women surrounding you. But a lesser person doesn't care about you as much as the Weekly Volcano does. Stay home tonight, dear. As long as you think you're funny. ...
