How to Be an Entertainer Workshop #3, Caritas, 06.07.06, Afternoon
After the students had walked into Caritas and settled in, the familiar opening to The Final Countdown began. GOB walked onto the stage much more calmly than usual and waved to the students before finally stopping and speaking into the microphone. "You know, I just flew in from California, and boy is this joke tired!"
The zombie drummer rolled off a perfect rimshot.
"Continuing with last week's comedy theme, today we're going to be trying out standup comedy. A standup just has to be funny, so the entrance isn't as important as it is for other forms of entertainment. Just walk out to your music, be gentle with your audience, then rip into whatever the hell you want for a few minutes. Take a couple minutes to come up with your act, then take turns up here."
"The only rule is that you have to be funny. It doesn't matter what you joke about as long as you remember that. Also, don't mock me or you get detention. Just because I have a thick skin doesn't mean I have to use it."
"Oh, at the end of the month, you all have to participate in a talent show. And next week I'm coaching a basketball game. Come out to see!"

"Knock Knock!
Who's there?
Dewey.
Dewey who?
Dewey we have to keep telling these knock knock jokes?"
He held up his hands, palms up, in a gesture of plaintive curiosity.

Dozen Olgo
Dozen Olgo who?
Yes, an owl goes whoo."
River wasn't sure that was actually funny, but for some reason knock, knock jokes had survived five centuries and a move to another solar system, and she remembered this one from her childhood.
