On January 1, 2009, I started an experiment to write one new joke every day for at least one year. As 2009 rolled forward, the universe proceeded to deal me a series of events that left me with no lack of inspiration for new material. Most of these jokes have found their way into my on-stage routine, and most of them have become staples of my act.

Now that I have made it through my first year, my focus has shifted from quantity to quality. I still update with new jokes, just not on my original every frickin' day deadline. Please feel free to grade these jokes, and heckle them. If a joke gets heckled enough, I will go back and make them better. I want to make sure my audience gets their money's worth, even though this is a free service.

And they sting a lot.

Ive learned so much working the door at the comedy club. The key to dealing with customers is to simply be nice. I didn't need to be told that for the job. I learned that in the late eighties from a little film called Road House. Doesn't make it any less true, though. Not that you get the same kindness in return every time. You can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar. But you know what else you catch with honey? Bees. Deadly, deadly, pissed off bees.
