You know, I often wonder about stand-up comedians who tell jokes about their wives/husbands/girlfriends/brothers-in-law/other people they have to go home to after the show is over and sit down to dinner with. Jimmy Kimmel, Bill Engvall, Ron White... they all make bank on jokes about their significant others who, in some cases, are clearly in on it and play up all the humor they can muster in a supporting role (cf. The Man Show). But I have to imagine that there are plenty of comics who have to precede every trip to the stage with a litany of excuses to their mistresses' eyebrows and pleas not to take what they're going to say seriously, followed by a hurricane of apologies after the curtain falls.
This site makes me think the same thing. Specifically: why on earth does the term "girlfriend" still even apply after all the things listed here have scrolled by? (Particularly assuming she has access to Google?) Unless I'm really that clueless on the subject and am missing some vital ingredient that makes it all make sense...
(This page is like eight years old already, though, judging by this, so this is probably just another of those parties that I'm so late to that the venue has been booked for a philately convention.)
