Becoming a Stand-up Comic

Today’s ride was very comfortable. It wasn’t cold nor hot. The wind was blowing from the back. A few cars passed me by slowly. Some drivers showed their thumbs to cheer me up.
I walked in to this Comfort Inn. The receptionist, Jay, asked me what I was doing in such a small town with my “Lexus”. I told him what I was doing. He was surprised. He called the manager immediately. Then he said with a happy smile “The manager said that you’ll get 50% off”
I was very glad.

When I came back from the Outback Steakhouse, he told the other receptionist who I am.
“That’s the amazing man Mr. Lee who is crossing USA by bicycle.”
I started talking about my last 3months. Then people started gathering around. I was very delighted.
“This whole thing started with one tiny mistake I made” I said, “I underestimated America, I didn’t know this country is so fxxking huge”
When I finished my 30 minute long “stand-up” There were 2 receptionists, 3 janitor men, 2 cleaning ladies and 6 guests listening to me.

I feel great.
