Quote from Jerry in The Soup
[stand-up:] Jerry: If you have a close friend and they get involve with someone in a relationship, it affects your friendship doesn't it? Because it's like you were a comedy team, and now there's this third person, you know, it kind of throws off the timing. "Who's on first?" "I don't know. Uh, dear, who do you think is on first?" In fact, whenever a friend of mine starts with a new girlfriend, we should just say, “I look like the person you use to know, but I've been modified to survive in this relationship. In other words, if were having an argument and she's there, I may say I totally disagree with you, but what that really means is, I'd like to help you out, but I'd rather continue to see her naked.”
