Walter, Greg's long lost twin

Sometimes we just need a good laugh. Something to take our mind off the bills, the aches and pains, the misbehaving kids, and drama that drags us down in our daily routines. Since it's hard to be funny surropunded by all the negativity, I married a funny man. It's worked pretty well for me actually, so when he's home (which isn't often since he's a semi driver) he will do a stand up routine for me that often has me rolling on the floor.

Most of his material is borrowed, and I know he listens to sirius radio and dvd's to help him memorize his material for when he really wants to wow me. He has his own twist on things though, which can be a bit confusing to those who aren't prepared for it. One of our favorites is ventrilloquist Jeff Dunham and Walter. Greg's learned a lot from this pair, and oddly enough, was born with much the same sense of humor and twisted view of the world that this pair uses professionally. Just to clarify, Greg is nothing like Jeff Dunham; it's Walter who seems to be his long lost twin. They have the same hair style, facial expressions, outspoken manner and cynical nature. To meet one is to know them both.

For those who aren't familiar with this pair, please get a taste of their style on Youtube. If they don't make you laugh, check your pulse.
