Hey, Donnie, say something smart


Comedians have a variety of stock answers to the annoying situation of a social occasion at which a new acquaintance says, “So, you’re a comedian. Say something funny.”

“I’m pleased to meet you.” etc.

Someday should ask one of those shouted photo op questions, “Say something really smart.”

I’d love to know what might issue from that provocation.

You are his speechwriter. Prepare a canned answer....
