These comments and responses were submitted by Kit Summers, author of the book
JUGGLING WITH FINESSE, back in '81 or '82:
1. What happened to the other half of your bicycle?
- So far I've only mastered one half.
- It got hit by a car and destroyed.
- My dog's riding it.
- Oh, I'm missing some?
2. Hey you lost a wheel.
- No, I found one.
- No, I lost 3.
- No, I lost a car.
- No, I lost my mind.
- No, it's right underneath me.
- I could only afford one wheel.
- Yes, I did.
- Oh, am I missing some?
3. Where's your handlebars?
- On my bicycle.
- Where's your steering wheel?
- On my skateboard.
- I use them to drive my car.
4. How do you ride that?
- Carefully, how do you walk?
- How do I ride what?
- Using my legs.
- Usually with my hands, but not right now.
5. I can do that!
- Oh.
- You can do what?
- And I can walk, just like you.
6. Do a wheelie!
- (stop and do some hopping)
- Roll over!
- I am.
7. (when pushing your unicycle) Can you ride that?
- No, I'm taking it for a walk.
- Ride what?
- I've had to have one of these since my operation.
8. (for tall unicycle) How's the weather up there?
- Snowing.
- Made of oxygen.
- Up where?
9. How do you get down?
- An escalator.
- An elevator.
- I have a parachute.
- Down where?
- Well, I'd rather not discuss my personal life right now.
