[Bit 1]
So I was in the Army for a while.
When I was overseas, I served with a Frenchman
who stepped on an IED and lost all four of his limbs.
I call him Napoleon Blown Apart.
It's all right, you can laugh.
He's got a good sense of humor about it.
The only thing he doesn't like about this joke
is being called French, 'cause he's American.
He's like, "Don't do that part of the joke anymore."
He's--it's very offensive.
He's very successful now. He tours the country.
He's a motivational speaker, speaks to large crowds.
Probably has more stage time than me
than me and the rest of these comics put together.
But at least we're all put together.
You know what I'm saying?
[Bit 2]
Did you guys know
that when a small animal is about to die...
it will try to wriggle out of my grasp?
