Tipping
I did a joke this past weekend in Brea California about blacks not tipping. Well, this fellow took offense. He sent me the email below. I like how his name is super royal and African and it turns out he is from Rancho. Check out the amount of qualifications he has laid out for me in his email in order for his waiter to get a tip. My favorites include not wanting to have to wait to be seated and demanding that the payment envelope be placed in his hands. I found this guy hilarious. I thought you might also. Please tip your wait staff people!!!!

The part of your schtick that did it was when you said blacks don`t tip. Let me explain something to you. Most blacks don`t tip because they get bullshit service, mostly from white fucking people. Now, I tip (maybe because I`m partially African-Amerikan) when the service is good. What`s good service? Good service is when the waiter promptly seats you and your party, comes back as soon as possible to take your order, tells you about any specials, asks (not axe) if the kids needs booster seats, quickly re-fills coffee and water and goes over the desert menu, after checking if everything is okay. Now, I not tipping when I wait longer than I should to be seated and ordered, have to ask for water and coffee, waiter has a bad attitude, doesn`t check on my party and instead of handing me the payment folder, puts it on the table. So in closing, why don`t you mix in the historic lousy service that “Blacks” get in resturants into your routine. Nabil Al-Murabit Rancho Park
Wow, if that is the standard for tipping a waiter no waiter would ever get a tip at all.
Are you on strike or are you working? I know you used to write for SNL. Hope you update your blog soon my friend. And go somewhere with cute Nikki so we can see some new pictures of her.
What a mess. I am just here because I was ordered to visit the site by Grand Wizard Slam Man.
You are an LSD freek.Thanks,The cook.
Hey!
I must agree with Barron on this.
In other words, Don wants you to drag Nikki out in front of a hord of paparazzi so when it hits the internet he can crop you out and make her his computer background.
wtf – e3a9a4cfce076497b44d is this a mac address, lol
I agree blacks don’t tip, except the ones selling pot. I delivered a pizza to a pot filled room full of blacks and the tip close to 20.00. I have a feeling that was a – dont narc on us tip.
Can’t agree with your take on Daltrey, but as far as the documentaries go, yeah I was quite disappointed in Shine A Light, but I guess that’s what happens when you’ve raised the bar as high as Scorcese. And I loved “Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who” as well.
Jay, you KILLED on Rome’s show earlier this week…brilliant stuff, especially the lead material on UCLA/USC. NPR has these “driveway moments” that you’re probably familiar with….that was one of them for me. I couldn’t leave the car until commercial break. Now if you just had your own radio show….
