This Thursday I’m going to the AATH 3-day humor convention in Panama City to learn more about the therapeutic benefits of humor. In reading over the program I notice that there are several concurrent sessions. Because I can only attend one session at a time I’m sure to miss out on something good.

Which brings to mind a humor convention in California where I was one of the speakers. I was up against Paul Krassner who was in the next room. If you haven’t heard of Paul Krassner, Google him.

When we finished our presentations, the woman who was running the show came up to me and said, “Ninety people went in to hear Paul but only 10 came in to see you. I want to apologize for flying you all the way from Maine to California to speak to only 10 people.”

And I told her that it had to do with where the conference was being held. The conference was in California and Paul lived in California so the turnout was just about what you’d expect.

But, I assured her that had the conference been held where I live in Maine things would have been much different. If the conference had been held in Maine, ALL of the people would have gone in to hear Paul and none of them would have come in to hear me.
