  When I was a young boy, my dad was in the Navy he was stationed in San Diego, California. Our family lived in the military housing on Coronado Island.

The boy child was laying on my lap playing his Gameboy, getting ready to start to maybe chill out enough to go to sleep (yeah...fat chance). Shayne gets up to rearrange his blanket, and Bill Engval goes into a routine about how his wife thinks he's too tense and sched a massage for him (you really need to see it...) and how the masseuse is this young, pretty blonde, etc., etc. Hunny man is losing it over in the recliner, I'm laughing away, and ...
