It's Against My Religion... - 6-11-09

A guy had his head in his lap for the entire show. Even though I always improvise, I didn't question it, because the girl with the guy seemed to be emoting a "what's wrong with you baby?" sort of sympathy, which made me think the guy was probably ill. Maybe he ate some bad clams, who knows?

After the show I usually shake hands with the audience. At her request, the "head in the lap" guy snaps a photo of me and his girl. Then, he says, "I'm happy Suzy had a good time, but I'm not allowed to watch magic, witchcraft is a violation of Baptist law."

"Not a problem, I do tricks, not witchcraft, right?" Well...

"It's not just that..." he said "...there is a Baptist prohibition of doing anything that 'looks' like you're violating Baptist law, for fear that you may lead others down your rocky path. Then of course, there is the issue of lying. Can you honestly say you told the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, during the entire show?"

Just for fun I changed the subject. "Do you believe in pre-marital sex?"

"Never mind!"

"Does that mean yes?"

"No, it does not mean yes!"
