A bad role to play

In my mind life is either theater or a movie. I typecast myself. I am just the breadwinner. I am just the nurturing grandfather. I am the devoted, loving husband. It is not that I am not proud of those parts. They do mean something to the script. Does it ever feel like you want a different role? Where are the danged Coen Brothers when you need them? Can't anyone write an original piece? I just want to be the plucky comic relief without feeling like I have to ruin the show. I don't want to discuss my daughter's choices or their consequences. I don't want to explain the importance of being politically aware. I just want to giggle at fart jokes like a silly child. - (full disclosure - I am in no way a real actor.)

If you’re looking for humor here, we have it. Not enough, though. If you want to try your hand at it, let’s hear it or see it. And let it fly, J. R. . Lol

Oh, I am so not funny either. My wife says my humor is too dark. Sort of like Lewis Black in a medieval riot.
