adrian is rad

So I’m thinking of becoming a stand up comic. Here’s part of my routine.

so. have you noticed how “hola” looks like “holla“? I like imagining mexicans saying “holla!!””
[with mexican accent]: “hollaaaaa, seniorita!!!”

have you noticed that outside calipers aren’t like vernier calipers at all and yet they’re both called calipers? What’s the deal with that???

so there are all these apples product that have names that sort of make sense: iphone, imac, etc, but what the crap is ipod supposed to mean? it’s my ‘pod’? it doesn’t look like a pod at all!

This all comes out of a coversation with my friend, Andy. I’ve included the full conversation below because I think it’s funny.

me: I should be a stand-up comedian with observations like this
Andy: you should go to an improv
in SF
I WOULD WATCH THAT
me: haha
oh god
I would fail so badly
no one would laugh
at all
that could be my schtick
not being funny
at all
Andy: I think that would go over well
me: “so. have you noticed how “hola” looks like “holla”? I like imagining mexicans saying “hollah!!””
and then I say it with a mexican accent
next joke: have you noticed that outside calipers aren’t like vernier calipers at all and yet they’re both called calipers? What’s the deal with that???
Andy: who’s the ad genius that came up with that one?!
me: next joke: so there are all these apple products that have names that sort of make sense: iphone, imac, etc, but what the crap is ipod supposed to mean? it’s my ‘pod’? it doesn’t look like a pod at all.
Andy: that routine would kill
people would literally die
