I showed up at 7:58 pm for an 8pm show... let me explain.
Medford, OR, 10am at the Alamo rental car counter there stood a man (ME). He heard the words "I know you have a reservation sir but we have no cars."
The man had no response as nothing seemed to make sense in this new universe he had woken up in crumpled up in seat 5a flight # whatever.
He called everyone he knew in Medford, OR. Amazingly two people. Each person had a similar response... "No Sh#$t!"
Finally Avis rental car got a load of cars seemingly from nowhere. Avis rented Alamo a car that Alamo rented to the man... alright ME.
By the time I got my car I had 7.5 hrs to drive 9 hrs. No problem I did 52hrs in 47hrs once!
As I blazed up the I-5 I wrote joke after joke about this and that. Of all the joke garbage running through my melon, two made the cut.
I got there at 7:45pm. Just in time to handle the usual hotel room reservation mix up and run to the showroom where 200 of the good people from N. Washington area waited to here my thoughts and watch me move around as humorously as possible. And of course the NEW JOKES!!
All went great! New jokes flew! I sold CDs!
I am left wondering though... I made a reservation for a car. (What alamo provides) when I showed up, they did not have the one thing that they provide as a business...
Should I try that at my next next show. "Sorry I don't have jokes. I could however get jokes from another comedian and provide them for you to fulfill my contractual obligation."
Alamo
AKA Carlos Mencia Car Rental

I know you wanted a new "Collin Moulton" model joke, but all we can get is a "Steve Martin Well excuuuuuuse me." It satisfies your requirement for a joke. Now give me money.
