The many things that are funny about New Jersey

New Jersey has always been the home of some of the worlds best comedians like Abbot and Costello, Jerry Lewis and Uncle Floyd.
Now, with legalized recreational marijuana in the Garden State, I'm figuring we're going to be finding a lot more funny in where we live.

When friends are surprised when I chat with Joe Piscopo, when I run into him.
