The Essence of Comedy...

Every famous comedian has some sort of signature characteristic. George Burns with his cigar and 'Say Good Night Gracie,' Dave Chappelle with his Rick James bit, and Tim Allen with his tools/grunting bit that for some reason everyone thought was funny in the 90's, but now seems kind of odd looking back. Anyway, yours truly also has a signature move. The funny face in the event photo. Not sure how it came about, but guaranteed, in any group of photos taken at an event I attend, there will be a least one picture of me making a stupid face next to some unsuspecting guest. Of course, it's usually followed with a "C'mon, let's take a nice one now." And unlike the examples above, I'm usually the only one who thinks it's funny. But I will continue to do it, for no reason other than I like to amuse myself...
