Kitten with a Whip: It's a scorcher!

Yesterday I made the three hour drive to Hayward, Wisconsin in a car with no air on what the local news described would be "a scorcher of a day!" I'm sure that's an actual meteorological term, since they were all using that phrase, as opposed to a tragic lack of thesauruses available to the metro weather people. They'll be waiting in hell with huge veneered smiles welcoming you with, "It's a scorcher in here today!"

Though I love spending time with my folks, I'd have looked forward to this little road trip more only had my seats been made of vinyl so I could enjoy the thrilling sensation of peeling my sweaty thighs off of them.

I decided I'd enjoy the trip more if I did something to avoid focusing too hard on the misery of being trapped in a moving sauna on a holiday weekend dodging the road ragers who don't have as good a reason to be enraged as someone trapped in a moving sauna. I countered the scorcher of a day not with a car repair to return my air (I paid a hundred bucks for my air to be fixed last summer and have no idea why it isn't working now), but with stand-up comedy on my mp3 player. It worked; I spent the whole drive laughing my ass off not in feverish delirium, but from solid stand-up including the following bits. (And arrived at my destination drenched with sweat but ten pounds lighter. Bonus.)
