We never had a pool, right. So one summer, I remember. My dad, to make me happy. You know I was bummed out cause we didn't have the pool. So one summer he bought us this thing.

Slip n' Bleed from the anus they should have called this ride. — Dane Cook

In my 20s, I was more cynical/despairing (even though I still wrote comically), but I often sent audiences home with rather dark last moments. After a while though, I don't want to send the audience home bummed out, or distressed ... I want to see what's hopeful. I'm not overly cheery all the time, and yet I'm not suicidal either. I do think people can make choices that make their lives happier. — Christopher Durang

But it kind of bums me out that people have told me again and again that they don't really understand what I'm trying to say. — J. Robbins
