Delay Lyrics by Anthony Jeselnik

0

But I don’t want to sound like I'm complaining to you guys. I don’t want to sound bitter. Being a comedian is the greatest job in the world. The greatest job in the world. Once you get on my level.
The  only thing I don’t like is all the travel. I’m always flying somewhere, always in an airport. Even flying into Chicago couple days ago. Two and a half hour flight delay. Stuck in an airport bar. Talking to some random asshole. And I got nowhere to go. So I’m like “Hey man what do you do?”
“Oh  nothing right now, but I used to be a priest.” As in oh shit. But I got nowhere to go, we keep talking, we keep drinking. Finally two hours goes by. Guy gets up, “Hey man I gotta catch my flight. But I don’t want to lie to you. I used to be a priest. I got kicked out, because I molested a kid.”
Now here’s the thing. After talking to this guy, and getting to know this guy for two hours. I have to admit, he was actually a really cool guy. If you could forget about all that Jesus bullshit.
Yeah that’s a favorite. I’m probably going to tell it again later.
