Last week, I got a chance to see the Second City: The Red Scare down at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. A good time was had by all; there was much laughter and many smiles and nudges as we enjoyed the skits. One of my favorite sections was an improv skit with an audience member.
Grandma: I'm so excited my grandson is coming to visit today! Oh there he is! Introduce yourself to my friends, dear.
John: My name is John.
Grandma: What a wonderful name, John. It's a good American name.
Friend 1: Yes, it's a lovely name, like John Travolta.
Friend 2: Or like a toilet, John. Oh, or maybe like a ho has a John.
Grandma: Yes, such a wonderful name!
All: God Bless America!
Grandma: Are you still single, John?
John: No, I'm married. (gestures to a woman at his table, his wife)
Friend 1: She looks like she's twelve.
Friend 2: Yes, they both look very young.
Grandma: Do you all have any children yet?
John: No, not yet.
Grandma: Good! Any time you get the urge to have a baby, you just go get yourself a cat.
John: We already have two cats.
Grandma: God Bless America! Throw a sweater on the fat one and call it good.
