Rosamunde Sausage Grill; 545 Haight Street, San Francisco (437-6851) has a Zagat rating of 25! They do one thing and they do it well at this spectacular lower Haight American sausage haunt, a stainless steel stand-up grill sans sit down space specializing in the best wurst in the city. What you get is fowl, cow, pig, including wild boar, any animal really with grilled onion, peppers, sauerkraut and chili on top -- all for just a few bucks. The friendly Fraulein even lets you take 'em next door to the Toronado pub to wash down with a beer. That's just what Peter and I did but we opted for the pomegranate cider. Peter noted "tip, you bastards" at the cash register of this European style pub with regulars hanging out in the middle of the afternoon, one reading Hunter S. Thompson, another chatting nearby on his cellphone. I would recommend the wild boar sausage but skip the sauerkraut which was flat and tasteless and go with the peppers and grilled onions. Price? a wopping $4.50. Pomegranate cider: 4.00.
JOKES OF THE WEEK:
You may remember the old Jewish Catskill comics of Vaudeville days, viz., Shecky Green, Red Buttons, Totie Fields, Milton Berle, Henny Youngman, etc. Don't you miss their humor? Not one single swear word in their comedy. Here are some examples:
There was a beautiful young woman knocking on my hotel room door all night! I finally let her out.
Where does a Jewish husband hide money from his wife? A: Under the vacuum cleaner.
A car hit an elderly Jewish man. The paramedic says, "Are you comfortable?". The man says, "I make a good living."
I just got back from a pleasure trip. I took my mother-in-law to the airport.
I've been in love with the same woman for 49 years. If my wife ever finds out, she'll kill me!
What are the 3 words a woman never wants to hear when she's making love? "Honey, I'm home."
Someone stole all my credit cards, but I won't be reporting it. The thief spends less than my wife did.
We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.
My wife and I went back to the hotel where we spent our wedding night, only this time I stayed in the bathroom and cried.
She was at the beauty shop for 2 hours. That was only for the estimate. She got a mudpack and looked great for two days. The the mud fell off.
The doctor gave a man six months to live. The man couldn't pay his bill, so the doctor gave him another six months.
Why do Jewish divorces cost so much? They're worth it.
Why do Jewish men die before their wives? They want to.
The Harvard School of Medicine did a study of why Jewish woman like Chinese food so much. The study revealed that this is due to the fact the Won Ton spelled backwards is Not Now.
Why don't Jewish mother drink? A: Alcohol interferes with their suffering.
Q: What's the difference between a Rottweiler and a Jewish mother? A: Eventually, the Rottweiler lets go.

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.

PESCE: INTRIGUING SMALL PLATES FISH JOINT; HUMOR OF FRED ALLEN
Pesce; 2227 Polk Street (Green); 928-8025 is an intriguing, convivial place where the fish are still wiggling. The creative North Italian (Venetian) vittles made with organic ingredients is a Russian Hill neighborhood-er with scrumptious seafood served on small plates that aren't small in flavor. Affordable prices add to the appeal. I came here with my best friend Zontar, and we share thoughts on the pro's and cons of living in San Francisco. Someone said we were given l tongue and 2 ears so we should listen twice as much and I've been listening to a lot of people who are wild about the City-by-the-Bay. Weather, diversity of food, ethnic neighborhoods, cultural amenities top the list. Cons? Freedom not to associate with sports nuts (me). Can smell crab at Fisherman's Wharf but can't go swimming there (boo hoo). If you decide to eat at Pesce, here's what I would recommend:
Rucola: baby organic arugula, saved fennel, Parmesan and lemon. (6)
Oysters: today's selection of oysters on the half shell (A.Q.)
Linguine: Dungeness crab, garlic, white wine and chili flakes. (12)
Salmone: Sustainably raised Atlantic salmon, pesto and fregula sardo (13).
Desserts:Vanilla bean gelato, brownies, chocolate and whipped cream. (7).
HUMORIST RADIO VETERAN FRED ALLEN WAS FAMOUS FOR SAYING HOLLYWOOD IS A GREAT PLACE IF YOU ARE AN ORANGE:
An actor's success has the life expectancy of a small boy about to look into a gas tank with a lighted match.
Advertising is 85 percent confusion and 15 percent commission.
I have just returned from Boston.. It is the only thing to do if you find yourself up there.
A celebrity is a person who works hard all his life to become well known, then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized.
During Samuel Johnson days we had big men enjoying small talk; today we have small guys enjoying big talk.
Hollywood is a place where people from Iowa mistake each other for movie stars.
You can take all of the sincerity in Hollywood, place it in the navel of a fruit fly, and still have room enough for 3 caraway seeds and a producer's heart.
If I could get my membership fee back, I'd resign from the human race.
I learned law so well, the day I graduated I sued the college, won the case, and got my tuition back.
Hanging is too good for a man who makes puns; he should be drawn and quoted.

TON KIANG: DISAPPOINTING DIM SUM JOINT; BILL MAHER ON E-BIRTHDAY CARDS
Ton Kiang, 5821 Geary Blvd., (22nd Avenue);387-8273;www.tonkiang.net. It's located at the end of the earth and it's not worth the effort to get to this Outer Richmond Hakkan Chinese restaurant that's always mobbed with crazy long lines because the so-called reward is dim sum at its best. Or so the Marketing wiz kids would have us believe. The choices go beyond the ubiquitous dumplings. Is that a good thing? A good friend, Richard, and I celebrated my birthday early evening before the hordes arrived. I interrogated the English-speaking waiters about the ubiquitous MSG. I wondered if we were just a couple of dumb, stupid Caucasians seduced by white tablecloths, fine wine, etc. Yep, they were very proud of their "flavoring" salt it seems. If you don't go for the dim sum or fresh sea bass (recommended), DON"T try the following:
Sole fillets sauteed with snap peas in house chili sauce made with ginger, cottonseed oil, salt, msg. Second rate fish, tasted like it was warmed over and the listless waiter did not serve it at the same time as the chicken.(14.50)...
Ton Kiang steamed salt baked chicken (1/2). (10.50). Is this a joke? What is it? Steamed? Salt? Baked? This was a real disappointment. Not recommended.
White Rice. (2)
Beringer Wine (merlot) (8)
Humor of the Old Curmudgeon Bill Maher:
Sending someone a birthday e-card doesn't count. If you can't get your shit together enough to go to Sav-On and pick out an actual physical birthday card, don't bother. I'm not expecting Hallmark. I know you don't care enough to send the "very best," but just don't send the very worst, or else, when you die, I'll be forced to deliver an e-eulogy.
Kids, they're not easy. But there has to be some penalty for sex.
I don't dislike children. I just don't particularly want to hang around them a lot. Problem is, neither do their parents.
Oh, and did I mention we owe China a trillion dollars. We're not on a bridge to the 22nd century, we're on a bus to Atlantic City with a roll of quarters.
Ice dancing is not a sport. Take away the skates and sequins, it's just a public wife-beating. If you saw this happening in a trailer park, you'd call the cops.
New Rule: When Pres. George W. Bush meets an autistic teenager, they must wear name tags so we can tell them apart.
Dick Cheney said he felt terrible about shooting a 78-year-old man, but on the bright side, it did give him a bright idea about how to fix Social Security.
New Rule: Stop saying you're resigning because you want to spend more time with the family or return to the private sector, or because of your health. That's all code for "I'm about to be indicted.".
The more complicated the Starbucks order, the bigger the asshole.
If churches don't have to pay taxes, they also can't call the fire department when they catch fire. Sorry, Reverend, that's one of the services along with paying in. I'll use the fire department I pay for. You can pray for rain.

RISTORANTE UMBRIA: SOMA HOMEY JEWEL;RODNEY DANGERFIELD'S HUMOR
Ristorante Umbria; 198 Second Street (Howard);546-6985. www.ristoranteumbria.com Generous and tasty, traditional straight outta Umbria dishes make it worth the fight to get into this homey SOMA Italian jewel during the crowded lunch hour, especially if you score a curbside table, or if you're attending a performance at Yerba Buena Center. Owner Giulio who's so omnipresent he should be a politician was noticeably absent from the Friday pre-birthday lunch (my 29th) that it was a welcome relief! My dining mate, Peter, brought an unbloggable/politically incorrect joke which he made me promise not to blog but we did share some Rodney Dangerfield humor! I would recommend the following dishes:
Rigatoni Amatriciana: De Cecco rigatoni pasta sauteed with pancetta, white onion, fresh tomato and white wine. (12.00)
Pesce del giorno: Salmon grilled with lemon; green beans, potatoes (18.75/dinner) for lunch). One of the best salmon lunches in the city!
WE MISS RODNEY DANGERFIELD.
He said...
My wife only has sex with me for a purpose. Last night she used me to time an egg.
It's tough to stay married. My wife kisses the dog on the lips, yet she won't drink from my glass!
Last night my wife met me at the front door. She was wearing a sexy negligee. The only trouble was, she was coming home.
A girl phoned me and said, "Come on over. There's nobody home." I went over. Nobody was home!
A hooker once told me she had a headache.
I went to a massage parlor. It was self service.
If it weren't for pickpockets, I'd have no sex life at all.
I was making love to this girl and she started crying. I said, "Are you going to hate yourself in the morning?" She said, "No, I hate myself now."
I knew a girl so ugly that she was known as a two-bagger. That's when you put a bag over your head in case the bag over her head comes off.
I knew a girl so ugly, they use her in prisons to cure sex offenders.
My wife is such a bad cook, if we leave dental floss in the kitchen the roaches hang themselves.
The other day I came home early and a guy was jogging, naked. I asked him, "Why?" He said, Because you came home early."
My wife's such a bad cook, the dog begs for Alka-Seltzer.
I know I'm not sexy. When I put my underwear on I can hear the Fruit-of-the-Loom guys giggling.
My wife is such a bad cook, in my house we pray AFTER the meal.
My wife likes to talk on the phone during sex; she called me from Chicago last night.
My family was so poor that if I hadn't been born a boy, I wouldn't of had anything to play with.
I told my buddies that my wife cut our sex back to once a month. They said, "Don't feel so bad, she cut some of us off altogether."

KULETO'S: HAPPY, NOISY AL FORNO ITALIAN STANDBY; STEVEN MARTIN ON THE DAVID LETTERMAN SHOW
Kuleto's; Villa Florence Hotel; 221 Powell; 397-7720. This is a happy, noisy Union Square standby. This handsome trattoria/wine bar is a welcome port for tourists, theatergoers, tired shoppers at Macy's across the street. All delight in the dependable al forno Italian eats. An aging Troy Donahue look-alike, Kent, and I got a table in front of the exhibition-style kitchen, which is great to watch, especially if your perch is at the excellent bar among the buzzy crowd. Here's what I would recommend:
Baked eggplant filled with herbed ricotta, fresh mozzarella, spicy marinara (9.50)
Bloomsdale spinach, goat cheese, roasted peppers, mushrooms, pine nuts, sherry pancetta dressing (9.00)
Braised halibut cheeks, potatoes, pea sprouts, tomatoes, capers, white wine (26.00)
Roasted Sonoma duck, white polenta, rapini, honey grappa apricot conserva.
Steve Martin on David Letterman 8/8/07. He will publish a memoir in December on stand-up and showed a clip of him writing it. David: How are you? That's a very forward question. Any thoughts on turning 60? Upon turning 60, i realized all my long-term goals are not short-term. 80-year-old sophisticated woman who's had a lot of heart operations said, in a posh voice, WELL FINALLY, WE DO BECOME WISE BUT IT'S TOO LATE. Steve was hosting National Book Awards and was to give an award to Arthur Miller. He told this joke: I'D LIKE TO OPEN NIGHT WITH A RIDDLE. NAME A PLAYWRIGHT ON THIS LIST THAT DOES NOT BELONG: WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, EDWARD ALBEE, TENNESSE WILLIAMS, ARTHUR MILLER, STEVE MARTIN. ANSWER: ARTHUR MILLER: NAME 1 PERSON WHO SLEPT WITH MARILYN MONROE.
