I went to the bakery just the other day... I said to the girl do have a zwieee-back? (polish food pun) she said... I always slouch this way. I was walking down the street something caught my eye... and dragged it 15 feet that's why I like to shop in Downtown Downers Grove!!! Downers and Naperville have changed so much these days...
I lived in Downers Grove for a long time. Delivered ads for the butcher shop on Ogden when I was a teenager about 15-16 years ago. It's long gone now. :(
He's a genius at word play; setting up the joke and coming off with the totally unexpected punch line. I just saw his show and he is really, really clever. Very under valued comedian! One of the best and one who doesn't need to load up on the swear words to make you laugh.
Emo is one of my favorites... too bad he doesn't have as many stand up comedy clips as I wish him to have. Another favorite of mine is Demetri Martin. He also uses ironic word choice and cleverness style in his jokes.
