COMEDIC DREAMS

The Larry David Stairway Episode

My unsuccessful debut on Curb Your Enthusiasm

I woke my wife in the middle of the night to tell her about a Larry David dream. She was half asleep and probably didn’t hear me. Plus, she hated Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm and thought Larry wasn’t funny.

But I told her anyway.

I was inside a TV studio doing an episode with Larry David. We were both bald. He had a frizzy halo, and my head was shaven. He was wearing tennis shoes, one of his brown zipper sweaters, and a pair of corduroy pants with pleats. At the same time, I had on my green Khakis and a black George Carlin T-shirt.

We were walking up a stairway, and a guy was waiting for us on the landing. Once he saw Larry, he bagged on his golf game, and Larry said to the man, “You need some professional help. I recommend a guy in Santa Monica. But I must warn you — I caught him wearing a thong bathing suit in Santa Barbara.”

“Go screw yourself, Larry!” the man said. “There’s nothing wrong with thong bathing suits for men. I have a Daffy Duck one. And the man started to hum the Looney Tunes theme song.”
