Buddhist Comedian...(For Keith Dowman)

It's impossible to have a Buddhist comedian, I think, because all the
jokes end with: "and then, nothing..." They're a sorry lot, sitting
backstage in the greenroom, gnawing their knuckes...just knowing that
they're going to bomb out there....but they CARE so much,
just wanting to bring a little laughter...a little joy...but their
jokes are all about the truth, so, the audience has to have, like, an
acquired taste? but it doesn't so they bomb...

of course, George Carlin was like a Buddhist comedian.....
