Being ushered out the back door of the White House. I wished then he could have turned Obama into a stone water buffalo. Then I realized the actual curse — that he live the rest of his life as Barack Obama — was even worse.

He wanted to transcend dental medication.

Actors would put idiotic things like roller blading and driving, very seriously. So I sandwiched into mine, “Caddied for the Dalai Lama”. Then added some other true skills before putting “Just kidding about the Lama”. It always got laughs after they got that I wasn’t serious. But it also got some funny astonished Wows before they got it.

I LOVED the Bill Murray monologue on caddying for da lama. And his tip was a promise of total consciousness on his death bed. “So I got dat going for me.”. I laugh just thinking about it.

After he give the clerk a $20, he asks for change. The clerk’s reply is “change must come from within”.
