PARK CHOW: A WINNER NEAR GOLDEN GATE PARK; COMEDY DAY IN GGP

Park Chow;1240 Ninth Ave (between Irving and Lincoln);415-665-9912. When you don't feel like cooking or paying big bucks, follow the lead of everyone from picky eight-year-olds to vegetarians and head to this very San Francisco-funky New American outfit in the Inner Sunset with a lively neighborhood feel and spot-on service. The diverse menu pleases all palates even my "no fins no feathers" dining companion, Peter, who ordered the classic spaghetti and meatballs, made with hamburger and fennel sausage. (large: 10; small: 7.50). I chose the fish of the day: Ono, a white fish grilled with mushrooms and arugula topping.(20+ as quoted). Save room for a homemade pumpkin pie with homemade whipped cream and great coffee for dessert. I'd give this place a 10!

Peter's Joke of the Day:

For centuries, Hindi women have worn a dot on their foreheads. Most of us have naively thought this was connected with marriage or religion, but the Indian Embassy in Washington, D.C. has recently revealed the true story. When a Hindu woman gets married, she brings a dowry into the union. On her wedding night the husband scratches off the dot to see whether he has won a convenience store , a gas station, a donut shop or a motel in the U.S. If nothing is there, he must take a job in India answering telephones giving technical advice.

COMEDY DAY IN THE PARK: SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 : MY FAVORITE LINES FROM 30 COMEDIANS.
Jake Johanssen: Everything happens for a reason. If you don't know the reason, you better shut up. If you carry a flask, people will come up to you and say: Dude, you have a problem. Your answer? Dude, I've found a solution.

Robert Dushay: On getting married: I love the pitter patter of little feet...love Asian hookers.

Tom Ammiano: Folsom Street Fare this year is green: Beat me, bore me, biodegrade me.
On getting older: Now when I say I pulled an all-nighter, I mean I didn't get up once to pee.

Carrie Snow: I flew in from Los Angeles and I am one SHALLOW BITCH. She got kudos from the crowd by standing on her head during her 5 minute act. I am so limber from Yoga that I can kiss my own ass.

Will Durst: Bill Clinton, when he said he never had sexual relations with that woman, was pointing at Helen Thomas.

Kurt Weitzmann: I hate cops, but I live in a very bad neighborhood so I never see them.

John Hoogasian: New way to smuggle drugs: hide them in the bloodstream.

Joe Klostick: We are like the reality show for the rest of the planet. No one likes us anymore because of Bush.

Doug Ferrari: I'm ready to personally give George Bush a blow job so we can impeach him. We know that Condaleeza Rice is blowing him...because his dick fits between the little space in her teeth.
