I got a late notice gig last weekend for the BWBA or something like that – it was women studying business. I was a business and history major, why not? It was a really good audience. The last time I did one for the OSU kids it must have been for the “General Studies” majors b/c I said, “Who in here hates their job?” and they stared at me as if instead of job I asked people’s opinions on the Litvinov/von Ribbentrop pact of 1939. Oh that’s right – you’ll never have jobs. Use the cash to buy a water bong.
I closed out the show and did about 35 minutes. College girls are not exactly my wheelhouse, but it went very well. Apparently white trash and sex jokes are fairly universal. There are always fun moments in a new crowd. I asked if there were any sports fans and two people clapped. It seems most OSU students are unaware the Buckeyes have athletics, which is ironic since most college sports fans never went to the school they would sacrifice their children in exchange for a national championship. In fairness, I went to Muskingum College (now University) and I have never watched a game in its entirety. Did I mention I played for the football team? I made a oath when the coaches reversed course and said we couldn’t bring our parents on the field three days before parents’ weekend (unless we were starting) that I would never attend a varsity game. 15 years this fall, no game watched by me. Muskie pride!
