South Africans have a perpetual "Groundhog Day" ritual called the braai so that they can have the same conversations over and over. Only the sport scores change. We still lose, but the scores do change.

When I first started doing stand-up I foolishly believed that I could communicate a message to my audience, get the crowd to "think".
I was right.
They all thought I was a prat.
So I switched to standard genital trivia and, lo, my bank balance rejoiceth muchly. But even when you make jokes about people's wee-wees, somebody is bound to act all shocked and shout out. Heckling is an accepted part of comedy performance.
