My dentist<\/strong><\/span> thinks he’s Larry David. My dentist insults me every visit, shouting, \u201cYou bastard, you don\u2019t have any cavities!\u201d My friend Mike, a retired businessman, thinks he’s Larry David. Mike is tough on waiters when we eat out.\u00a0 \u201cWhat? No Pellegrino?\u201d<\/p>\n I\u2019m Larry David. I used to listen to comedy records at Harvey Pekar\u2019s apartment. Harvey had all of Bob and Ray, Lenny Bruce, and even Arnold Stang, the actor who did the Chunky commercials. I heard everything.<\/p>\n My band has gigged with a couple comedians. The comics did bits on dieting and Jewish cuisine. Frum <\/em>comedians did riffs on kosher food, like \u201cWe had a power outage at our house and lost $100 worth of kosher meat — two chickens and a pound of hamburger.\u201d I could do that — if I kept kosher and could tell a joke.<\/p>\n One of<\/strong> <\/span>my relatives thought he was Phil Silvers. He ruined everything at Seders with stale constipation jokes. Yiddishe Cup once did a Catskill-themed event at a nursing home. Luckily, few people in Cleveland know about the Catskills, so our stuff went over, sort of.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve watched Curb Your Enthusiasm <\/em>a lot lately. <\/em>Reminds me of me at my worst. That’s the point, right? I’m Larry David. You’re <\/em>Larry David.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My dentist thinks he’s Larry David.
