8:33 AM
Here's a good way to get fired from a comedy club in the South. I walked into the club last night, grabbed a beer and went to the TVs in the bar area. The NASCAR race was on both and there were 2 other guys standing there.
"Sorry Jimmy Johnson (the driver shown in the lead at the time)," I mumbled to myself. "It's time for Cubs baseball!" And then, without even as much asking if they minded, I changed the channel but was unable to find the game.
"I thought I was watching that," said one of the guys.
"Sorry," I said. "I was just trying to find the ballgame."
"Well you must be Scott," said the same guy. "My name is Mike Smith. I own this club."
Not only had I turned off NASCASR in favor of baseball, but I did it in front of the owner. Timing is everything. So is being fuckin' rude!
