Funny thing happened on my way to the bank
« on: November 09, 2016, 05:25:01 PM »
This is really my bro-in-law's story so I will try to tell it as he told it. Here goes:

"Craig and I just finished our (contractor) job done and the site owner dropped off the check. Site owner says the bank is on the corner of Sterns and Lewis, open til 5, and can cash the check out since it's that bank's check. Smoked out before leaving the area and noticed it was getting close to 5, so minor panic mode sets in. Run into the building, and it's a nice building but I didn't see tellers right off. I see a guy wearing a white shirt and a tie -you know....kinda looks like a bank manager.

Me: Is it too late to cash this check?

Banker-looking guy: What kind of check? What's it for?

Me: We just finished a job and the site owner's office is right down the road and he said this was his bank and you could cash this check."

Banker-looking guy: This isn't a bank; it's the Smith Road Animal Hospital.  Bank's at the next intersection...........at STERNS and Lewis.

Stoners haha.

Seems like lately SNL has been more tragic than funny

 :rollingonasslaughing:

But no, SNL hasn't been on par for years now.  Some funny stuff here and there, but fairly mediocre to some of the historical SNL greats.  There are no Murphys, no Belushis, no Akroyds, Farleys, Meyers, yadda yadda.  With Fey as a possible exception, they just don't have that calibre of personalities, nowadays.  Tragic, as it kind of serves as a cultural barometer for America as a whole.  SNL-level satire & comedy should represent the peak of both funniness and wit, and they seem to perform consistently short of that in recent years.

:goodpost True, SNL has been schizo funny/unfunny over the years. In 1979, when I was in ninth grade, ABC created a show to compete with SNL; it was called Fridays. At the time, it was more popular with my classmates than SNL. It was a competition at that time because both shows had good material. Since then, closest thing was Mad TV from 2010 to 2013. Seems the SNL show is hit or miss for the past several years.

Fridays is where Michael Richards got his start.

Also don't forget about the classic years of SCTV with John Candy, Harold Ramis, Rick Moranis, Joe Flaherty, Dave Thomas, etc Martin Short too for a bit

Was in High School 79-83 right through all of these and for a short while Fridays was more popular with my friends as well

Life is The realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed
