Hello OnStar?

Distractions

If you’ve spent more than 20 min in a car with me then you know that it’s physically impossible for me just to “sit there” and not do anything. Our last rental car was equipped with OnStar and I SO DESPERATELY wanted to press that little blue button.

OnStar: This is OnStar, how can I be of service?
Me: Hi OnStar! Do you like what I’m wearing?

OnStar: OnStar, how may I help you?
Me: I think I’m being followed. Oh no, sorry it was a bird.

OnStar: Hello OnStar. How may I help you?
Me: (throaty, breathy) What are you wearing?

Or my favorite: Get OnStar to flash your lights (their parking lot locater service) and dance in front of the car like some bad 80s video.

“Did you find your car, Mr Robot?”
“Damn it! Keep flashing! …Dancing at the feet of the moon!!”

    Thanks!

    I’ve actually decided to take a serious crack at stand up, I’ve got enough clients and I’m not teaching till the spring so I can dedicate the time needed. I’ve also explained to my girlfriend that stand up means a lot of traveling and late nights:

    “It’ll look like a bunch of arrested development unemployables are getting smashed in a strip club but it’s really networking!”

    Earl grey tea, all over my monitor via my nose, thank you! Especially liked the KITT (of which your knowledge is quite scary) and “Talking Car!” ones.
