Okay, two more experiences to share from the talent show the other night. One is the boy who recited three excerpts from presidential speeches from memory, Nixon's "I am not a crook," and JFK's speech about going to the moon, and his "Ask what you can do for your country" speech. The funny part was he actually did a passable Kennedy impersonation for those quotes. The other is that the night featured one performer billed as a stand-up comic, and we were treated to a series of really dreadful jokes and riddles read straight from a children's joke book. The thing is the child stand-up comic did original material, and was actually hysterically funny, while the stupid jokes were read by Steve Schirripa, our adult MC.
