PAULA AND ME
Here I am in an elevator with Miss Paula Poundstone, with whom I did an event last night at the American Library Association convention in Orlando. You will be surprised to learn that she is pretty darned funny.

She looks great. I think she lost a few pounds.

I remember when she was telling how she wound up with 19 cats.
As the story goes, she had 18 cats, and she got one more.

Please assure us that no selfie-stick was involved in the taking of this photo. I trust one of the Rock-Bottom Remainders on-hand for the shot.

I dressed up as Beetlejuice also once for halloween. Everyone thought I was funny an seemingly "better" than my normal personality until I got drunk an started handing out bic lighters to small children for fun. I had to get the outfit at a ladies suit shop in a mall. That was almost as much fun. I listened to her recently and laughed abit as well.

I alsways consider that the best episodes of "Wait Wait" on NPR are those with her.

Paula is in fact very funny. How about Dave? Is he ever funny? All I know about him is from reading his columns, so it's hard to tell.
Andy Borowitz, now THAT guy is funny.

P.S. I have two barely past teenage sons, so when I heard Paula talk about her discovery that her teenage son's brain completely lacked frontal lobes, I yelled "That's IT!!!"

*Picks up the cheese from Padraig that nursecindy slapped out of his head, and throws it another 50 yards distance*

Has Dave been on Wait Wait? That needs to happen!
