Here's some sitting-down stand-up for ya.
Apr. 24th, 2023 05:51 pmYou know that thing about how if you had a roomful of monkeys typing indefinitely, like for infinity hours, they'd eventually type all of Shakespeare's plays? That's, y'know, a great thought piece, and, like, concept illustrator [there's a word for that that I can't think of but would try to figure out before doing the stand-up, so imagine I did], but to me the real mind-blower is something else. What I can't stop thinking about all the near misses. Like, there'd be a day---yet another day [big-eyes look to audience]---when everybody's still there [other look, bored another-day-at-the-office], and Monkey François has almost typed all of Hamlet perfectly ... yep, "good night, Sweet prince", and here comes Fortinbras, all what-the-fuck-is-this, and he & Horatio have been back-and-forth, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are dead, etc. etc., and now here we're down to those last few lines, "Such a sight as this / Becomes the field, but here shows much amiss"--- it's so close!--- and soon we're all the way to the very last character, and then you realize ol' Françie's typed "Go, bid the soldiers shooz" [delay on pronouncing the "z", or maybe use another letter]. I mean, is that a "D'oh!" or is that a "D'oh!"? For every actual full Shakespeare play one of them types, there'd be, what, --- where's a statistician when you need one? Is there a statistician in the house? --- there'd be SO many not-quite-Shakespeare-plays.
I don't know if I could take it. I don't think I could take it.
