There's a priest next to her
and she says, ''Father, pray for him.''
:02:08
And the priest says, ''l will,
but if he could punch, it would help.''
:02:13
There's more insight in thatjoke,
:02:16
into what l call the Giant So What
:02:20
than most books on philosophy.
:02:23
Women.
:02:25
Camus said that women are all
that we're ever going to know
:02:31
of paradise on earth.
:02:34
ln your case, Falk,
there is a seminal joke
:02:37
that Henny Youngman used to tell
that l think is perfect.
:02:42
lt sums it up perfectly
as far as you go.
:02:45
Guy comes into a doctor's office.
:02:47
He says, ''Doc, it hurts when l do this.''

The doctor says, ''Don't do it.''

:02:57
That's Davld Dobel,
and l'm Jerry Falk.
:03:00
We spent many afternoons walklng
and talklng ln the park.
:03:03
Dld l know when l flrst met hlm
how nuts he was?
:03:06
We met at the office of some so-called
intellectual comedian's agent.
:03:12
We were comedy writers trying
to break into the business
:03:15
by writing nightclub routines for comics.
:03:17
The difference was,
l was 21 and he was 60.
:03:22
He wants truisms.
Notjustjokes. Truisms.
:03:26
We can't afford the crazy prices
for the more established...
:03:30
Let me say this, if l may.
:03:32
l can't speak for David Dobel
because l don't handle him.
:03:37
ln fact, Jerry and l just met him now.
:03:39
But l've handled Jerry Falk
since he began, and with Jerry Falk,
:03:44
you get top-quality goods for your money.
:03:47
You can buy a suit and get
the same cut in a cheap fabric
:03:51
as you can in an expensive fabric.
Jerry gives you affordable fabric,
:03:56
a quality fabric, at affordable prices.
