A funny thing happened....Well, there we were, sitting - or maybe we were standing - on the NY subway. I think it was the Times Square stop, #2 train Uptown. Hannes, Jessica, myself and
Devin, the Godfather.
We were waiting for the train to get going - we were running late, Devin and I were going to stop at
Fairway's - when all of a sudden a man came running, juuuust as the doors closed. He managed to get a hand and a foot between the closing doors, as he was desperately trying to open the doors.
We stood there, watching, all four of us, when after about 30 seconds of struggle, the doors reopened, and the man walked into the train.
That little New York moment made an impression on Hannes who has been asking Jessica all week to tell him the story over and over again. Today, he told me the story himself. "And then Mom says, "wow", and Dad said, "oh no" and Debin goes, "uh oh". "
That makes his standup routine 60 seconds long.
The other joke - the above becomes funny when Hannes tells it - involves a Finn, a Swede, a pig and, um, ugly smells.
