I need a punchline for this...HELP!

I was recently told by a fellow comedian, that my posting joke ideas and asking for input...and on one occasion I said "I need a punchline for this..HELP!... was unprofessional. That I was demeaning myself as a comic by doing so.

I enjoy the feedback and input I get from those that read this blog.....and honestly there are only about six of you. When I titled a post "I need a puchline for this!", that was just my way of asking for input.....not for trying to get others to write my jokes for me. Could I have worded the post differently...absolutely..but I didn't think it would become an issue. It was never my intent to send out the messege that I wanted others to write my comedy. I have asked for input on many, many jokes on here.....99% of which I have never used on stage, but have enjoyed hearing what others thought.

I am curious to get the feedback of others...because people see things in different ways, and we are all funny in our right. IF I use a line that has been posted...I will definately ask for permission to use it first.

I have been able to put together a solid comedy routine....one that has taken me to many different stages in many different places...using my own material. I just wanted to set the record straight that I greatly appreciate the feedback, input and suggestions......because I enjoy talking about comedy...NOT because I wish to steal, copy or get someone else to write jokes for me.

Now that that is off my chest..............I need a punchline for this...

So a man, a parrot and a construction worker walk into a bar.......!
