After our hilarious sets at the Punch Line showcase last night, a bunch of comedians went to the Fisherman’s Wharf In-N-Out Burger for a post-show meal. Halfway through my burger, I became fascinated with the In-N-Out potato slicing machine, as did my Frown Land cohorts Joey Devine and Kevin O’Shea. Potatoes went in, potatoes were sliced into fries, and we couldn’t look away.

JOEY: I could watch this all day.
SEAN: I could watch this…for quite a while.
Suddenly it struck as that we were the only comics enthralled by this spectacle. Not coincidentally, we were the only Irish comics. I think we must all be subconsciously afraid of another famine, so the sight of an industrial potato-making machine both soothes and comforts us.
*We left the restaurant and then beat up a British guy - animal-style.
(*Not really.)
