I had this pic emailed to me and thougt it was funny enough to share. I wish I knew where it originated from. That is one thing that irks me about folks who forward jokes etc. Eventually it just keeps circulating and the original person gets no credit and folks keep on forwarding it not knowing who created it. I know that jokes and funny items are forwarded with good intentions, I just wish the chain of origin did not break down in the process. If anyone knows where this one came from please let me know.
I received it after bumping into an old aquaintance, that I did not recognize right away, so it just seemed fitting.
Often I get people, that I have spoken to before, coming up to me at a show and it can be difficult to recognize them right away, especially if they are out of their environment. Right after a show or just before a show is the biggest memory lapse a performer can have as we tend to go into our own zone, where the world stands still and we not really there.
I remember coming off the stage once and not recognizing my own cousin! Granted it had been years since we had seen each other but it still makes you feel like a knob.
People change over the years and after staring at spotlights it is not a fair time for us to have you foremost in our minds.
So, if you ever come up to me after a show, especially when I was having a great set, bear with me as I come down from my show "high" and try to figure out..."Who the hell are you??"
Remember, you have the advantage as I was on stage and I get so many faces put before me that it may take a moment...k?
Just for the record, the egg's name was Ed. The chicken just got off stage and had it wrong.
