This is literally the happiest I have been in months. Should probably talk to my shrink about that, but in the meantime: you're welcome reddit!

Three answers to this, based on different kinds of fear:

1. When I was 5, I fell out of bed and when I woke up, startled, I saw the shadow of my R2D2 bank looming over me in such a way that I thought, for sure, malevolent forces were finally going to eat me.

2. A few years ago, I almost crashed a car in Detroit and died. Here's a long version of that story:

1. About 30 minutes ago when I pressed "submit" on this AMA and opened myself up to reddit for evisceration.

None of them are easy. At least in the sense of "creating a bulletproof joke that works everywhere that is also original, succinct, and universal". Those are always hard to do, no matter what the style.

That said, if there was a lesser of the many comedy evils, I would say that I've been pretty good at analyzing my own relationships in a way that's pretty interesting. So, those are relatively easy compared with some of the other topics.

It's never been an issue. The little homunculus that sits on my forehead is always watching. The problem is more the opposite. How do I STOP noticing things and just enjoy myself?

You have a sports jacket?

And you have a lot of time on your hand?

AND you get off on people laughing at you?

AND YOU'RE NOT VERY CREATIVE!?!?!

GET OUT BEFORE YOU TAKE MY JOB! GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!

I mean, uh, hey man, cool. You should try comedy. More the merrier I always say.
