It's was just funny. But, I wish the story was little longer.

Jim Gaffigan is funny. Doesn't need to use profanity as a crutch to get a laugh. Most comedians if you take away profanity have no good jokes. My all time favorite comedian is Dave Chapelle, Steve Martin and The Machine was a great movie with the aged Luke Skywalker. I would like to add Gaffigan in this group.

It was interesting how he and his wife talked about the jokes before his performance.
