Yeah, Vista has that too. It shuts down programmes before you start them.

 Have you ever considered a career in comedy?

Isn't she great? I don't think she really knows it, yet.

You're very sweet... and I've even let my comic talent shine once. Which was fun, but not something I like to do again. The audience was good, and was
clapping at a lot of my jokes, and every time they clapped I lost where I was. I didn't win, but had lots of fun! And I still have one momentum from
the occasion: my father suggested to copy a New Year's Dive and fill a large cement bucket with paper snippets. Which I did. But I did have to cut
them first... took hours. Somehow I never could throw them away.

hahaha,
you said, 'my father suggested to copy a New Year's Dive . . .'. What's a new years dive?
I've never tried 'stand-up'. That would be a struggle for me. I don't think I can be funny on cue where you go out on stage and the lights come up
and then I'm supposed to be funny? I can act, but stand-up? I don't know.
Happy you had a good time at it!

Let's see, how do I explain this...
Every Jan 1st, around the Netherlands various groups of people and places organize a dive. All participants run into sea or into an open air pool at
noon on this day.
I did it 3 times, from '96 to '98. The first time it was friggin cold, -10 degrees celsius (14 F). The dive was sponsored by King peppermint. And at
the end of that very cold dive (the ice was on the beach, ice flowers had formed on the roof of the tent where we were changing in (and by the time we
came back, they had melted, making our clothes wet), and the sea was -4 C... at the end of that very cold event, King gave us free samples of their
refreshing peppermint.
The thing about stand-up (and why I loathe it) is it's just as rehearsed as an opera. It walks from joke to joke with no funny quirks inbetween. My
act went the same way, it was all written down at one point.
