Laugh Lines: Conversations With Comedians - Plot & Excerpts
My signed, first-edition of “Barrel Fever” is a cherished possession. Corey: I heard you have been involved with the Helping Hands organization. Have you always been interested in monkeys? David Sedaris: I’m just like anyone else; I’m impressed by the stuff that they can do: put food in a microwave and turn it on. Dial a telephone. Put a CD in the CD player. Corey: So you think working for people is a good life for these helpers? David: Yeah, the monkeys could be in a jungle somewhere dying of disease, and instead they’re making toast for people. I just think it’s funny, basically. Corey: When you visited them, did the monkeys seem to be happy? David: Um, yeah. I’m not the best judge, but they weren’t being tormented in any way. They were in school, learning, and they had dorms. Everyone had their own little room. They could watch TV anytime they wanted; it didn’t seem like a bad life. Corey: Any perks that come along with doing a benefit reading for the monkey organization? David: Probably if I got paralyzed in a car accident, I might cut ahead a few places in line.
