“Talkin’ Ball” and telling jokes
Tonight marks the return of “Talkin’ Ball” on Comcast Sportsnet, with tonight’s special guest scheduled to be comedian Ron Osborne.
Ron will be headlining a benefit show at Harvey’s Comedy Club at 8 o’clock Wednesday night, with the Blanchet House sharing in the proceeds. And by the way, I’m going to do about seven minutes of standup on that show, too. How crazy is that?
My goodness, the situations I get myself into never cease to amaze me.



if all else fails just do a clint eastwood from gran torino monologue!
Ben — I’d rather deliver this classic from Jack Webb as Joe Friday… you know, about prostitutes tearing your clothes up on your first night on the job: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-tr2sYDm4U&feature=related

Seven minutes is an eternity. Wow. Cojones.
Dwight:
Here’s a joke that no one can mess up:
A traveling salesman rings the doorbell and a couple of seconds later the door swings open to reveal a five year old boy looking up at him. He’s holding a martini in one hand and a cigar in the other. “Hey sonny, are your parents at home?” the salesman asks. The little boy looks at him and responds, “What the hell do ya think!?”
I’ve got a good one for you Dwight….just restate the point you tried to make last Friday about how fantastic NBA refs are. Without question, that one will have everyone in stitches.
Dwight just take Franklin errrrr Bob on with you he provides many hours of pure laughter on this blog.
Ricky/John Nash, It never ceases to amaze me in how dense you truly are. Ask Mr Jaynes to compare IP addresses between my login and Franklin’s login. I will await your next thoughtless utterance.
Bob, you are a cobra coiled and ready to strike!!! A regular whirling toranado of anger!
Ricky/John Nash, (and not the “Beautiful Mind” John Nash either) it is spelled “tornado” not “toranado”….
Thanks Bob, I am once again glad to see your OCD is paying off in spades for you. Bob I admit it was a typing error, please, please forgive my mistake. I hope I can only live up to your status as blog nazi someday. The offer still stands about the psychologist. Oh I am not John Nash but I am related to him. Is that all you got?
Here is a funny joke for the program… In June of 2007 the Portland Trailblazers were in an envious position. They had the opportunity of the 1st pick of the NBA draft and choosing between Kevin Durant and Greg Oden. A difficult choice in some eyes…. But let me get to the punchline and two years later…. The Blazers picked Oden…. Now that is a funny and yet sad joke !!
Bob:
I’d call you a wit, but I’d only be half right.
Wish it would have been last week! BREAK A LEG!
