I was at the Shecky Greene performance, starting at 7:30 last night. After working the "bad crowd" into his routine, he finally gave up and exited --- stage left --- at 8:06. WTF ???

Heavens to Mergatroid, Shecky. How can you dare to charge for tonight's show ? How can you even show your face ?

I will be there again tonight, specifically to sheckle.

Some people paid 40, 50, 60 shekels ... for that ?!?

I wanted him back onstage. I called, "Waitress, Sheck please."

The crowd started to croon, "Where is the Greenfield ..." [Too inside ? Okay, sorry.]

Wait, I got more ... Strange, but I feel some kind of hook pulling me sidewise by the neck ... a-a-a-agh !!! ...

I think you'd be an entertaining fill-in, although if it was that tough that Shecky got off the stage, get up there that night might have been a bad experience.

Sad that either he bombed, or the crowd bombed him.
