An Evening At the Comedy Club

Last night, my wife and I went to a Comedy Club and Restaurant to watch the stand up comedian, Sinbad (born David Adkins).  He is the one and only.  Very famous in USA. Me and my wife both like him because he and Bill Cosby are the only two stand up comedians DO  NOT use any foul word or vulgar word or racist language.
 
No F word.
No S word.
No V word.
No N word.
No racist jokes.
No touching himself.
 
Yet, it was so fun to listen to him.  He was on stage for 1 hour and 30 minutes.  Every minute the whole auditorium came down with laughter.
 
I don’t know about other countries because I never went to a stand up comic show in any other country.  Nowadays, in USA, all of the above “NO” I have listed, are the main topics in stand up comedy.
 
In addition to attending in person once in a while, we occasionally watch on TV and in Youtube.  It is very embarrassing if there is any kid present in the room. So we don’t watch when kids are in the living room.
 
There is one famous stand up comedian who use the V word every 2 minutes.  I don’t know if he likes V a lot or hates V a lot.
 
Here is a sample from Sinbad’s stand up comedy:

Idea for Stopping Rapes in India

There was a news item in USA a week ago.  In Florida, a dad came home at 1 A.M. in the night and walked into his 11 year old son’s room.  He saw an 18 year old man sexually abusing and raping his son.  He was the babysitter for this kid till the dad came home.  Dad got angry as any dad would.
 
He took care of him the next 20 minutes and then called the 911 (Emergency Call System in USA).  It includes medical emergency also.  He told the operator what happened and asked them to send an ambulance.  The operator asked if there were any weapons involved.  The dad replied “my foot and my fist”.  Look at the 18 year old after the dad took care of him for 20 minutes.  I would say the dad showed extraordinary restraint.

Police did not charge the dad.  The Chief of Police said: The dad did what a dad has to do.
 
The 18 year old is charged with sexual battery on a child under 12. He is being held without bail.  I don’t think this guy would go near a kid in future.
 
This is what I have been telling my family and friends in India for years.  Even today my heart bleeds when I think of that medical school girl in New Delhi who was gang raped in December 2012.  I have been telling everyone the judge should release all the rape and pedophile criminals on one condition.  They are free to get out of the court on the condition they should walk home.  The judge should also tell the police to stay away.
 
We need the cooperation of the police also.  Police should not book any criminal case against rapists and pedophiles.  If it is proved they are the culprits, police should ask them to go home walking (with advance information to the victim’s relatives.) (Caution: We don't want to make the police as the "judge" and "jury" also.)
 
Some people will say we should not take the law into our own hands.  This is not at all like this.  Parliament should change the current law (to what I have suggested) with regard to punishing the person who is found guilty of rape/pedophile.  If we are all united in this we can achieve this. How?
 
Bombard with thousands of emails to your MPs.
Call their phone numbers and leave messages.
Fax your requests to your MPS.
Tell them not to come to your city/town/village unless this bill is passed.
You can always use Facebook and Twitter. (Modi likes these two. He will read and get the message.)

The Best Photobomb

Remember, recently I wrote a post on Photobomb.  Look at this picture.  Don’t you think this is the best photobomb!

This photo was clicked exactly on this day, 45 years ago, on July 20, 1969.
Can you tell me what this photo is all about?  OK I will tell.

On July 20, 1969, when American Astronaut Neil Armstrong set foot on the Moon, he took a photo of his lunar module on the surface of the moon.  His shadow appears as a photobomb.
Since his shadow also appears, I would call this a “selfie” also.
