Wilbur's Suburbo

​                                                              Chapter Two:
                                                                                Driving/On the Road
 
          Stand-up comedians have long-used “car routines” in their acts.  George Carlin famously used to describe the person whose blinker was on (for miles and miles) as, possibly, circumnavigating the globe in his/her car.   The now-disgraced Bill Cosby, when he was still doing stand-up, did a famous routine about driving a clutch car in San Francisco (that whole set-up dates the routine, doesn’t it?) and getting stuck on a hill (and pulling your emergency brake and waving people on, “Go around, go around . . .). 

            So, in keeping with that tradition, today’s Suburbo uses the late/great Bill Hicks and his routine about getting caught at a red light.  I think it’s all too true (the heart of great comedy, right?).
