Lenny Bruce:
l seem to be under a little pressure here tonight to cool my act. l don't know how many of you know it, but l was arrested, busted, right here on this stage a few nights ago, for saying... No. l'm not gonna say it. Let's see. lt's an 11-letter word, it starts with a ''C'' and ends with a ''G''. And it was used - it was used in the context of defending a certain homosexual practice. Actually, though, l don't relate it only to homosexuals. l relate it to any contemporary woman l know! Oh, yeah. Would know or love or marry. I'm sure you do, too, if you're honest, right? Okay, l'd like to ask you all a few questions now, okay? And you're all under oath, all of you. Even standing room only. How many people in this club here tonight have ever used that word: blah-blah-blah? Don't be shy, you can raise your hands. Well, that's cool. Now let's get really honest. You, sir, have you ever had your blah blahed? Hm? lt's either yes or no. There's no two ways about it! Okay, how many men in this room have ever had their blah blahed?
