Being Funny Is Hard Work

Remembered seeing an interview on 60 Minutes with Dan Whitney (Larry The Cable Guy) - really struck me how constantly he works on his comedy.
Am still looking for the specific clip that showed him writing down some of his thoughts (and describing his comedic process). But I did find this:

Why "Rhino_Soul?"

In his book THE BARBARIAN WAY, Erwin McManus uses a “group” of rhinoceros’ to illustrate what we (or at least I), as a child of God should be more like. A group of rhinoceros’ is called a “crash” – just like a group of lions is called a “pride.” The reason they are called a crash is that they can run at over 30 miles per hour. The irony is that the have horrible eyesight: they can only see 30 FEET(!) in front of them. In other words, once a group of rhinos is on the move – you better get out of the way. At 30 miles an hour, there is no way they can see far enough ahead to stop in time. Hence, they are called a CRASH (even when they are standing still). My whole life, I’ve been encouraged to “run slow” – to make sure I can stop in time (and to make sure I don’t make any mistakes). I think most of us have. Except, there’s a problem with that (a problem that can’t be explained in a simple paragraph). So, that’s what “Rhino_Soul” is all about. It’s about being tired with the status quo. It’s about being tired with “playing it safe.” It’s about taking risks and running faster that our eyes can see. It’s about … well … it’s about time we started to make a real difference in this world. Even if we experience a few “crashes” along the way.
