JUGGLING WITH FINESSE, back in '81 or '82:
-
What happened to the other half of your bicycle? - So far I've only mastered one half. - It got hit by a car and destroyed. - My dog's riding it. - Oh, I'm missing some?
-
Hey you lost a wheel. - No, I found one. - No, I lost 3. - No, I lost a car. - No, I lost my mind. - No, it's right underneath me. - I could only afford one wheel. - Yes, I did. - Oh, am I missing some?
-
Where's your handlebars? - On my bicycle. - Where's your steering wheel? - On my skateboard. - I use them to drive my car.
-
How do you ride that? - Carefully, how do you walk? - How do I ride what? - Using my legs. - Usually with my hands, but not right now.
-
I can do that! - Oh. - You can do what? - And I can walk, just like you.
-
Do a wheelie! - (stop and do some hopping) - Roll over! - I am.
-
(when pushing your unicycle) Can you ride that? - No, I'm taking it for a walk. - Ride what? - I've had to have one of these since my operation.
-
(for tall unicycle) How's the weather up there? - Snowing. - Made of oxygen. - Up where?
-
How do you get down? - An escalator. - An elevator. - I have a parachute. - Down where? - Well, I'd rather not discuss my personal life right now.
