Amusing cross-lingualism

I just realized “bullshit” rhymes in Spanish: “caca de vaca”

Sometimes I amuse even myself.

Patience is a Virtue

“Actors have short attention spans.” This was an observation related to me by the son of the producer of my last show. Hello! Over here! Still typing! Good. Now that I still have your attention, may I comment on this observation? No? Hello? Hello?! Please stop playing with your phone. Is the text message that urgent? Oh, it’s from your friend. I see. Go ahead. I’ll wait. … Done? Good. Anyway, continuing on where I left… no, put the remote down. Yes, I realize my TV system is cool. I built it.
