I'M NOT FROM HERE.IT'S GOOD TO BE IN NEW YORK.
I'M NOT FROM HERE.
I'M FROM SOUTHERN ILLINOIS.[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
WOW. THERE'S -- THERE'S MY TOWN.THAT'S ALL OF THEM.
FROM A SMALL TOWNIN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS.
I SAY "SOUTHERN ILLINOIS"TO ELIMINATE CONFUSION,
'CAUSE IF YOU JUST SAY"ILLINOIS,"
PEOPLE ASSUMEYOU'RE FROM CHICAGO.
AND THAT SHOULD MAKE IT PRETTYSIMPLE -- SOUTHERN ILLINOIS --
UNTIL I TOLD A LADY THATONE NIGHT,
AND SHE GOES,"OH, LIKE LOUISIANA?"
"OH, HMM, I'M FROMTHE PART OF ILLINOIS
THAT'S IN ILLINOIS, ACTUALLY."
SHE SAID IT SO FASTLIKE SHE HAD BEEN THERE --
"LOUISIANA.IT'S NORTH OF AUSTRALIA.
"I KNOW WHERE YOU'RE AT.I KNOW WHERE YOU'RE AT.
I'M VERY GOOD AT GEOLOGY."
I'M ENGAGED.I'M GETTING MARRIED.
THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR.
THAT SOUNDS FUN.
Man:CONGRATULATIONS!
THANK YOU.
HOPEFULLY, WE HAVEA SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE,
WHICH MEANS ONE OF USGETS TO WATCH THE OTHER ONE DIE.
IT SOUNDS WEIRD WHEN YOU PUT ITINTO WORDS, DOESN'T IT?
BUT IT'S NOT A GOOD MARRIAGEUNLESS, SOMEDAY,
ONE OF US IS STANDING OVERTHE OTHER ONE'S DEAD BODY
CRYING, SHAKING HANDS,THINKING, "WE DID IT!
WE WIN! HE'S DEAD.WHERE'S MY PRIZE?"
THAT'S IF YOU'RE LUCKY --YOU GET TO WATCH HIM DIE.
IF YOU'RE UNLUCKY,YOU GET DIVORCED,
AND YOU GOT TO HAVE SEXWITH A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE
AND YUCK, YOU KNOW?
WHO WANTS THAT?
EVERYONE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENTDEFINITIONS OF MARRIAGE.
MY FRIEND GOES, "YOU'RE NOTGONNA BE ONE OF THOSE HUSBANDS
THAT GOES AROUND AND SLEEPSWITH OTHER WOMEN, ARE YOU?"
I DIDN'T KNOWTHAT WAS AN OPTION.
I'M GONNA LIKE THISA LOT MORE THAN I THOUGHT.

BUT IT IS FUN. IT'S FUN.
IT'S GREAT TO FIND THE PERSON

THERE'S 6 BILLION PEOPLEON EARTH.
I'M SUPPOSED TO THINKTHERE'S ONE PERSON FOR ME?

WHAT IF SHE'S FROM BANGLADESHOR DOESN'T HAVE THE INTERNET?
THEN I'M SCREWED, I GUESS.I DON'T KNOW.
[ LAUGHTER ]
