Hey....I'm just trying to give Ralph some competition.

Bryan,

I don't see it as competition so much as providing assistance in the fulfillment of my responsibilities, and it is most welcome. It's not easy to devote one's entire life to entertaining such a difficult group, and to receive so little appreciation (with the notable exception of Ruth's bladder) in return.

Having said that, if you don't come up with better jokes than the one about the guy in the library, the Pinheads will start throwing e-tomatoes at you (instead of me), and Ruth will never pee again, except in The Small Room.
