Laughter Is The Best Way To Release

I Didn't Realize, When I Decided To Be A Comic, That A Black Person Had Never Been Allowed To Stand Flat-footed In America And Talk To White Folks. It Never Happened Before.

My Belief Is, You Know, Certain Things Have To Be Explained That's Never Been Explained.

If You Take 12 Waters From The Coconut - Not The Ones You Buy In The Store, Although That's Good - But The Fresh Coconuts, The Little Brown Ones With The Three Eyes, If You Take 12 Of Those Within 24 Hours, Your Blood Will Go Back To The Way It Was When You Were Born.

It Was An Unwritten Law That Black Comics Were Not Permitted To Work White Nightclubs. You Could Sing And You Could Dance, But You Couldn't Stand Flat-footed And Talk; That Was A No-no.

And We Love To Dance, Especially That New One Called The Civil War Twist. The Northern Part Of You Stands Still While The Southern Part Tries To Secede.
