I had the great privilege of attending one of Rodney Dangerfield's live performances, and it was everything one could hope for. He was such a prolific jokester that he kept the audience in stitches the whole time.
He loved to play off of the audience. There must have been a repeat customer in the crowd, because a heckler yelled out "let's hear some new jokes!" Rodney shot back "You want a joke? Take off your clothes and look in a mirror!" The heckler shut up, and it's unknown whether or not he took Rodney's advice for new material.
A lady in the audience stood up during the show and inched her way down the row toward the aisle. "Hey! The show's not over. Where are you going?" Rodney shouted at her. There was no answer. "Hey! Where are you going?" Rodney asked again. The woman sheepishly replied that she was going to the restroom.
Then a few minutes later the lady returned and was inching her way back down her row. Rodney said "You weren't gone long enough. You didn't wash your hands." The audience loved it, and while the joke was at the lady's expense, she probably didn't mind.
It was a great show. We'll miss you Rodney.
Does anybody know Wendy Jo Wyllie in Midland
Texas? She is about 30 years old now, blonde, blue eyes.
