Strange moment

I did a “benny” which is a benefit show where you get nothing but some kind of moral reprieve for so called good works.  It was for Toys for Tots.  Outside the show a military man who just got out of basic started a conversation with me.  He is being deployed to Afghanistan in the spring, but he asked why I was at the show.  I told him I was a comic.  He then said, “Comedians do a great service to our country.”  He was serious.  I love the military, but I know a lot of comics/drunks/drug addicts/degenerates/unemployed/neurotics and the last thing I would tout is a comedian’s intrinsic value to the fabric of American society.  Heads up, people.  No one gets into comedy for service, we get into it b/c we are psychos who have a craving for attention/laughter for a variety of poor reasons.  Thanks for the compliment, but you boys are the heroes.  I found a way to paid on occasion to drink cialis overnight shipping beer.  You win.
