Entertaining the Wrong Number
Won Over By Reality
By Tim Bayer
BRIGHTON New York—(Weekly Hubris)—11/11/2013—At some point, it happens to everyone who has a phone: occasionally, you get a call from someone who’s dialed a wrong number. What you do with that call depends on your disposition. For a comedian with time on his hands, a wrong number can be . . . entertaining (for many, it turns out).
A quick review’s in order if you missed my post last week, a video titled “Pen Drumming.” Check it out if you have a few minutes.
The hapless caller who dialed stand-up comedian Jay Larson’s number in error is the focus of this week’s video share: Jay tells the story better than anyone else could, on “The Conan O’Brien Show.”
(If you, yourselves, come across an entertaining link or video, I’d be interested in seeing it, and sharing it with my readers at Weekly Hubris. Please contact me at: Email: [email protected].)

He attended St. Bonaventure University, earning a BS in Computer Science, and then worked in the hi-tech world. In 2002 he turned his creative energies to product development and video production with the release of his first independently produced products. When the demand for web site design and freelance writing increased, he once again switched skill sets . . . to writing and web work. An avid or, to be more accurate, rabid, disc golfer, he may often be found chasing plastic while in pursuit of the perfect round on a disc golf course, or designing and developing disc golf products for Demogrid.com. He says he tries to find the humor hidden in everyday experiences, because, “life is too important to be taken seriously.” (Author photo by Tim Bayer. Author Head Shot Augment: René Laanen.)
