“Hello everyone and thanks for coming out” the comedian began. “My name is Brian Strong and I’ll be making you laugh for the next couple of hours…I think.”

There was a moderate wave of laughter through the audience.

“Yeah I like my chances” Brian Strong said “Anyway…”

“Excuse me” came a small voice from somewhere in the audience.

Brian pretended not to hear and continued with his monologue.

“…I was taking a trip to South Hampton last summer, why I dont know, it just sounded like a good idea at the time…” he said.

“Excuse me” came the voice again.

Brian Strong stopped his act and began to look for the source of this small annoyance.

“Yes?” he called out to whoever it was.

“Is there going to be naughty language?” the voice said.

Brian found the source of the voice and saw that it was a small boy sitting near the back of the theater.

“Naughty language?” he asked the boy.

“Yeah, is there?” the boy asked.

“I dont know, maybe” Brian said, chuckling.

“Well you shouldnt use naughty language.” the boy said.

The audience laughed, Brian did too.

“Look kid, If I want to use naughty language, I’ll use it.”

“But you shouldnt use naughty language.”

“Who says I shouldnt use naughty language?”

“My mom.”

Brian and the audience laughed again.

“Your mom says I shouldnt use naughty language?” Brian said.

“No,” the boy said “She says no one should.”

“And why is that?”

“Because its bad.”

“Oh because its bad” Brian said, chuckling and nodding his head.

“Yeah.” the little boy said.

“Look kid” Brian said “Tell your mother that I can use naughty language if I want.”

“She wont agree.”

“I DONT CARE!” Brian yelled angrily. “IM BRIAN STRONG, IM FAMOUS, AND IF I WANT TO USE NAUGHTY LANGUAGE, ILL USE NAUGHTY LANGUAGE! DO YOU UNDERSTAND!?!?”

The little boy began to cry, got up from his seat and ran out of the theater.

“Thank God thats over right?” Brian Strong began “Anyway…”

But the audience began to boo and follow the little boy out of the theater.

“No stop!” Brian called out to his audience “I’ll tell jokes now! I promise! I wont use any naughty language! Please!”

But the theater continued to empty.

“Come on, we’re gonna have a great time!” he pleaded, now sitting down on the stage, as the last remaining patrons went through the exit door.

The theater was now empty. Brian strong threw his microphone to the side angrily. A loud noise came blaring from the theater speakers.
