Is there any way to contact him, perhaps through a management group? I'd
like to find out where else he might be appearing in the near future.
Now, is that a nice thing to say? I, for one, have spent hours laughing with
friends at Emo's jokes, i.e, I weigh 130 pounds stark naked -- if the scale at
the train station is to be trusted.
Perhaps Emo's jokes are simply beyond your intellectual capacity, Mr. Gooeyboy.
So, on behalf of the entire newsgroup, I am inviting you to post any of Emo's
jokes that you find unfunny (most likely because you can not understand them),
and we will break them down into itty bits so that you may comprehend them.

My little cousin is afraid of the dark. So, I decided to fill his daylight
hours with as much horror as possible. Now, he prays for the darkness to
come.

A tie (add your own Emo singsong as you read this), "This German fellow
complained to me that it's impossible to get a good bagel back home. I said
'Whose fault is that?'" ... "Someone came up to me and asked 'Is this seat
saved?' I said 'Well, if Aquinas reasoned that even animals have no souls, what
chance does an inanimate object have?'"

Here's one I particularly like:
----------------------------------
I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the
edge, about to jump off. I immediately ran over and said "Stop! Don't do
it!"
"Why shouldn't I?" he said.
I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!"
"Like what?"
"Well ... are you religious or atheist?"
"Religious."
"Me too! Are you Christian or Jewish?"
"Christian."
"Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?"
"Protestant."
"Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?"
"Baptist."
"Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the
Lord?"
"Baptist Church of God."
"Me too! Are you Original Baptist Church of God, or are you Reformed
Baptist Church of God?"
"Reformed Baptist Church of God."
"Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1879, or
Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?"
"Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915!"
To which I said, "Die, heretic scum!" and pushed him off.

Starting out in comedy with Emo, us old Chicago guys got to experience some
of his really extreme material that was induced on those unsuspecting early
audiences. This is my all time favorite that I don't think made it to the
"favorite Emo bit" library because I only think he did it once, so I hope my
memory of this bit is correct. Enjoy.
Emo was working one of the clubs in Chicago one night. After a couple of
punchlines he would pause and ask the audience, "Is it ten o'clock yet?"
This continued for about 10 minutes, with Emo stopping to ask the same
question every few minutes. Finally, when ten o'clock arrived, the whole
audience starting shouting "it's ten!, it's ten!", at which point Emo
immediately stopped his routine and walked off stage. He returned shortly
carrying some sort of old duffle bag which he dropped on the floor. Kneeling
down next to this bag he proceeded to remove and arrange in a large circle
around him about a dozen candles, which he very slowly lit in a ritualistic
pattern. Next he pulled a small altar out of the bag, placing it in the
center of the burning circle of candles. Finally, he pulled out a jar of
formeldahyded pig fetuses, set them on the altar and then started kneeling
and chanting some strange invocation to his shrine. This went on for several
minutes; the audience in shocked silence or confusion. When Emo finished, he
slowly reversed the whole ritual and walked off stage again with the duffle
bag. When he returned to the stage, he picked up his monologue just where he
had left it at exactly ten o'clock as if nothing had ever happened. After a
few more minutes he stopped his show, gazed straight into the audience and
asked, "is it 10:30 yet?"

Emo rocked in Appleton this past week. Very nice guy to hang out with as well.

Bought a tape at the record store yesterday.
Listened to both sides of it.
Sure enough -- blank.
But I had to see what was on the other side if it killed me , so I went
to the cellar door , pushed it open and walked through , and I saw strange ,
wonderful things , things I had never seen before , like.........
trees , grass , flowers , the sun , that was nice !

"Lonesome" Keith
Favorite Emo Bit #47
Lauren
I said "About 34"
"3400??"
"No, 34 people."
At that point he no longer wanted to talk to me.
That gave me my first lesson in show business. Lie to Emo Phillips if you want
to talk to him.
"When I leave new york I get homesick, so i fill the humidifier with urine."
I asked her if she'd like to go back to my place. She said, "Do you have
cable?" and I said, "I think the ropes will be strong enough."
"I tried lifting weights once. But the very first day I threw out my back
so...I put down the booklet."

So I was walking across the Golden Gate Bridge and I noticed this guy was
about to jump. And I tried to stall him... you know... detain him....
long enough to put the film in. And he stopped and turned to look at me,
and.. you know the elephant man? Well he was kinda like that, he had the
head of a horse. My heart went out to him. I said "Why the long face?"
He said, "All my life people have been calling me mean names, like Flicka
or Horse's Head or Chesspiece Face.."
I said, "Don't let it bother you, Ed."
He said, "My girlfriend is suing me."
I said, "For palamino?"
