a few weeks ago ricks and i got the chance to go see david sedaris. he was in town performing a book reading at the mondavi center on uc davis campus. ricks and i both really love david sedaris and have taken a collection of his short stories with us on vacation ever since our honeymoon. at the reading he read a few monologues and stories from his new book, "lets explore diabetes with owls." he is considered a humorist and so his stories are very funny but also give you pause to think about life and bigger issues. one of our favorite stories from his new book was about trying to one-up his depressed sister. very funny stuff. he also shared some very funny anecdotes from his personal diary that included many stories from his various book tour travels. on occasion, his humor strays toward potty humor... which we totally think is hilarious! haha!
here is a pg-13 joke that someone shared with him when he was on tour in SLC and that he shared with the audience in davis:
a man and a woman were on an elevator. after a moment of silence, the man confessed that he was on his way to donate sperm because he gets paid $50. the woman moaned, 'aw, i only get $5 for plasma!' a month later they found each other on the same elevator. the man said, 'are you back to give more plasma?' and the woman, with an obviously full mouth, shook her head and replied 'mm mm.
so... that is david sedaris!
