Comic Relief

Yesterday was pretty eventful. I had to fly out and do my job again. While me and my coworkers were waiting for our helicopter to land, some other helicopters land and about 12 people walk off of the heliopad. In the midst of the people in the crowd, I see a midget. I started thinking "What is a midget doing here?" You'd think I'd be used to seeing weird stuff around here, but then life likes to throw a midget in the mix and then you look like a dog that has heard a weird sound. I then started thinking. There had been flyers hanging up around base about 2 comedians coming into town and putting on a USO tour. One of them being a midget, Brad Williams, and Carlos Mencia. I found out later that the midget is a regular on the Mencia show. The show was hallirious. It was great to laugh that much in an hour and a half show. I'm sorry Steven, I know how you feel about comedians that steal other peoples jokes, but I'll have you know that I watched it out of desperation to escape the everyday mundane life that I have over here. And I'll have you know that I didn't have to pay for the show. I just had to wait in line for an hour and half in the freezing cold. But I was one of the few who were able to sit down in a seat and not have to be standing the whole time. Don't you judge me.
This is the second comedic show that I have seen here. The first one I saw was back in July with Dave Attell and Scott Kennedy. That was another hallirious show. That has been about it with who I have seen at a USO tour here in Iraq. I did happen to see the Red Skin Cheerleaders on the Helio pad a couple of weeks ago. They were wearing white, in the desert. It was irritating me. The dirt and sand get into everything around here and these stupid cheerleaders walk around in their white clothes getting them all dirty. I don't know I guess I have a pet peeve about keeping things from looking dingy and then running around in the dirtiest place on earth. It's like telling a kid that he can't have fun at Chucky Cheese and expecting him to just sit there and listen to you. It's a tedious battle that you're never going to win. Stupid Cheerleaders!
That's my little bit on comedy. I know. I'm not going to start a career in it. I just like to pretend every once in a while that I'm funny.
