    It put hair on his chest. And a monkey on his shoulder.

    @BadUncle: That reminds me of when I was a bartender and I would once in a while make money off rubes who did not believe I could balance a champagne glass on my rack and drink out of it "look, Ma, no hands" style. I was once dared to and tried it with a glass half full of beer and was shamefully defeated. "You need at least a D cup to do that, dummy," was the guy's response. I had been had by a more experienced grifter!

    @SaraRueful: Something tells me your present shtick is probably just fine, but I applaud the tendency toward constant improvement nevertheless. We can all improve something.

    Truthfully? A random pregnant woman passed him the creamer canister in Starbucks. But that sort of antidote won't get you published in the New Yorker

    Sedaris recycles the same 5 stories every couple of years and gives them a new cover. Doubt the milk story ever happened.

    Just like that comment is recycled every couple of months when Gawker runs a story concerning Sedaris.

    @rabbitangstrom: Whatevs. Sedaris is an overrated hack for people who never met a bitchy queen before and therefore think he's hiLARious. And that goes double for his painfully untalented sister. I saw her stupid play "The Book of Ruth" a few years ago and I swear I was the only person in the audience who didn't engage in a competition to see who could laugh the loudest at her sophomoric jokes to prove how "hip" I was.

    @antisocialite: When posting comments of this kind, it may be useful to demonstrate that the poster is not simply humor-impaired in general.

    "It's not funny," by itself, is one of the least enlightening criticisms ever. Which people who have functioning senses of humor probably do tend to realize, on some level.

    @antisocialite: If I had said something funny, it might.


    But laughing at a situation one finds uncomfortable is not really evidence of a sense of humor.


    Saying something funny -- that would be more like it.
