Buskers generally need a good stock of 'ad libs' and a very quick wit. Have you ever crossed the line by being too quick with your mouth? Some years ago I had a show which I performed on stilts ( don't ask why), and a rather large woman shouted from the other side of the square ' Cooee, I wish I had your legs'. Quick as a flash and with no interaction between my brain and my mouth I shouted back 'Yes, I bet you wish you had my waist too'. Everyone, including her laughed, but I cringed. Had I thought for even a millisecond I'm sure I'd not have said it. Has anyone else ever cringed at what they said in a show?

Only when I told that kid to go play in traffic. . . and when I looked it was one of my bosses kids.
What would Wavy do?

My mouth is not faster than my brain, but sometimes it engages when the other has not.

I think that line is way older than Gazzo. I knew it long before I ever heard of the man.

Alternate line-
"There is a bus coming in five minutes...Be under it." Again, an ancient source. Gwyd |

Well, I'd almost swear my grandmother told it to me on occasion. . . and she'd be way older than Gazzo. . .

Yeah, Gazzo's material is 100% original. He would never steal a line, ever. Right Gaz?

As my posting record in "Not very Magical" will prove, my mouth works much faster than my brain...

Haha, well then... proven wrong. Is the gag with the plastic bag/space helmet original to him?

Not sure if my mouth is faster than my brain...
I do know my foot is pretty quick, at times it's in my mouth long before I realise it. (go ahead you hacks and steal it...I would) ;) 1535
