“Handing someone a demo CD is like saying to them, Hey, you throw this away.” (Can’t recall the comedian, could be Dimitri Martin) It’s funny but burned CDs are a great handout for me. I can see through DistroKid that some people loaded them into iTunes and I got a small match but if money for it. Considering how cheap they are and “put in walk away repeat” the process is, I’m still happy to crank them out now and again. Plus! I have CD labels so they have personality and flair. Also they fit a 40-60 minute DJ set perfectly. Burn, pop in the car, party on the go baby.

It was Mitch Hedberg joking about getting a receipt for buying a doughnut.

  Mitch Hedberg sounds right but I remember the joke as being about someone handing out paper advertisements on the street. The doughnut joke is a different one I think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo5pjBmNyrE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo5pjBmNyrE Also, for someone who died going on 2 decades ago, he's really got some staying power; I see kids discovering him and liking him to this day.

    He made great jokes exclusively in a format that is usually reserved for bad jokes. He was a genius.

      So much so it creeps into real life for me from time to time. About 10 years ago working in the Comerica building in downtown Dallas (you can see it in the skyline photos) I parked in a garage connected by hallways and tunnels to stay out of the heat or rain. There were two sets of escalators in this route. One set broke. Management put up a sign on a stand stating “Escalator out of service” and within about a week somebody opened Word or PowerPoint set it to landscape, printed out “Escalator temporarily stairs, sorry for the convenience” on a piece of paper and taped it over their sign. I’m sure I snapped a picture of it for the week or so it was left up.
