Funniest Man Alive

As I think we can all agree, I'm pretty much one of the funniest people you've ever met. And if you are reading this blog, but don't know me personally, trust me--I'm funny. If you are reading this right now and thinking "He's not funny at all", that's just because you are mean and I was so funny in the past that you expect me to be even funnier now and when that doesn't happen you don't think I'm funny. Get it?
Anyway--I wanted to share one of my funnier momemts. The scene: outside a coffee shop in Boston. I was walking with my friends and I told them I was going to pull a stunt. Props needed: Mentos.
So I started walking in front of this coffee shop full of people who had an unobstructed view of what was going to happen next. I then intentionally tripped and flew threw the air, crashing to the ground in pain...But wait!!

In case any of you were worried, I hopped up and pulled some Mentos out of my pocket, turned to the people inside the windows, and let them know that all was okay......I got a few of these looks from people inside, but others were busting up. This was back in the day when Mentos commercials were as frequent as Viagra's are today.

I remember being there for that one.

I also remember that it was New Year's Eve and we were all wandering around Boston before watching/volunteering at Blue Man Group. I remember how we all bought Mentos after that and kept falling down everywhere all over the city the rest of the night.
