    <description>I am a great American and a standup comedian. I make up stuff, I got ideas and opinions about everything and anything in the world, all made up by me. I tell jokes, please don't take me seriously but if it makes you think in a different perspective I am the most happiest. Please share your thoughts with me so I can evolve as well.  Lets learn about each other and lets figure it out. </description>
