NY: Getting Laid…Off
New York, New York, big city of dreams…ugh…shit ain’t so pretty these days is it? With the economy residing in Poopsville, more and more people are getting the “it’s not you, it’s me” speech from their employers. Yes, pink slips are raining down on New York like a

Free Sunday Standup = Free Laughs + maybe a little fart that squeaks out
Going to free stand up comedy shows is like trying to swallow pills made for horses: sometimes it goes well, other times it just doesn’t and you want to die. About a year ago I went to a small standup show in a backroom the size of a refrigerator
