1. Truisms

    In Steve Martin’s memoir Born Standing Up, he mentions a time when Johnny Carson turned to him during a commercial and told him “you’ll use everything you ever knew.” Martin’s proof of this is his doing rope tricks that he learned as a teenager in amusement parks during ¡Three Amigos!

    My proof of this is making fart noises by blowing into my hand backstage when someone onstage says “pull my finger” in The Imaginary Invalid.
