Unconventional Double Header

I went to a high school football game tonight, then a comedy show, an unconventional double-header. The high school football game was homecoming in North St. Paul, playing Mahtomedi. The visitors kicked a field goal near the end of the first quarter, up 3-0. Aided by a 3rd down conversion, long pass play after the QB nearly sacked. Missed FG by the home team, then long run and fumble by the visitors. Home team intercepted, pass was tipped. Home team gets ball with about 3 minutes left, gets TD at 27 seconds left. So North St. Paul is up 7-3. Interception, offsetting penalties, kneel-down. A 2 year old kid lost at end of half, found right away on field on home sideline apparently. Second half, visitors intercepted, 6 minutes left in 3rd quarter. Home team punts, picks up fumble. Home team TD, up 14-3, 1:16 left in the 3rd. End of 3rd quarter, North St. Paul up 14-3. The visitors get a TD, at 9 minutes left, now 14-9. Visitors were intercepted, ran back for TD but called back by penalty. First down, 1:11 left, North St. Paul runs out the clock for the win.
    At the comedy club, school bouncer was the MC. He did ones about Kool-Aid man, diabetes, successfully single, single sex, not your birthday, Beyonce, Kim Kardashian, 2:30am message, grill cheese, lactose, cliff notes, take the city bus home, and check the fridge. Turtle check did a guest set.
He did ones about cute season, doe screaming, busy highway, and flip flop sound. Perkins was feature, and did ones about a breathalyzer, a drive thru, moved to midtown, Tim Burton, dating with braces, salt water aquarium, Netflix and Tinder, asthma, new sick friends, you're no GQ model, sister in Kansas city, and plug website. He continued with toddler outfits, 24 hour head start (I got a shout out), turtles, Culvers dumpster, pug sitter, gremlins, mustard sandwiches, Q-tips, Reagan, Lincoln, wolves, piglets, run out of town in Montana, ballpark frank, motel 6 in Oregon, argue in woods, tick season, lurking in shadows, Buddy Holly, Good Morning America, I'm still sad, and my retort.
    The headliner did ones about a C-section, homeless man in Venice, CA, what went wrong, laugh like a pelican, mu mu mu, real estate in Tempe, AZ, American Sniper, talcum, cargo shorts, drink a merlot, trapper keeper, bring a game, how diamonds are made, and Normandy. This was followed by World War 2 veteran, strip club, doldrums, Xanax, Goo Goo dolls song, iris, hug and head rub, bike lanes, Tampa Bay, Eminem, George Belushi, and Sanskrit.
