I was doing a straitjacket escape the other night, and I had a late 20's or Early 30's lady on stage to strap me in. That is my favorite age group to work with. They are still uninhibbited and raunchy enough to make the jokes work, and they are old enough to not be embarrassed by the inuendos.
Then I got to the crotch strap part. We all know the lines that go with that. Up to that point I had been goading her to make the straps as tight as possible, but now I suggested that perhaps she did not have to go that tight after all. A female voice from the audience bellowed out, "Yank it like a lawn mower!" This got a huge laugh. I was only sorry that an unknown impromptu spectator got the laugh and I did not. I don't care that the laugh was at my expense. The audience will all go home feeling good about what they saw. They will feel entertained. That was my goal all along. I need to find a way to work that line into my show... It was a good one.

Both are fun if you do it right! |

Oooooh...
So. How mad would you be if some unknown EA stole one of your lines from a message board to use in his admittedly low profile act? I'm not asking for any particular reason.
