I moved to Alabama and made the mistake of joining in a conversation 2 women were having in a convenience store. They were talking divorce and I said I’m getting divorced too! The women quickly decided we needed to have a prayer circle. In the Circle K!! I had never experienced this so I went along to see what would happen. We held hands, next to the chips, and one woman started praying for us during this difficult time. I was peeking around to see their expressions and especially when a man walked in. Apparently this is thing he saw often because he didn’t bat an eye at 3 women holding hands next to the chips in a Circle K praying! 😂 Welcome to Alabama!

I was a new widow in 2006, moved to a small cottage with a bedroom upstairs. Decided to hang some art on the stairwell wall. Wood stairs with a pie shaped landing, that I put a 2 step stepladder on. As I get on the 2nd step, I said, "Oh, Lord, keep me from getting hurt". As soon as I finished that thought (very short prayer) the ladder shot out from under me & I went flying forward. I ended up with a chicken egg on my forehead that turned into a black eye, a goose egg that bruised my whole left arm & the next day my foot was swollen & I limped for a week. As I lay on the stairs, taking inventory, I thought "well that didn't help" but even tho I looked like someone beat me up or been in a bad car wreck I really wasn't "hurt". AND I figured God thought, "well you're the dummy who put a ladder on the stairs!"

Is that "97%" bit referencing something from earlier in the show, or am I missing an obvious punchline? The crowd was hysterical, he went to the ground, and I'm just confused about what, "I'm 97%, dude" means that was so funny, lol.

[@barbarawoodward6794]

Me too!😂

[@austin4x]

@barbarawoodward6794 Yeah, judging by the number of likes and your reply, it appears a lot of folks came to the comments to see if they could figure it out themselves. I'll watch the whole show anyway so it doesn't matter, but most comedians wouldn't use a clip where a big part of the clip is a reference to a joke that isn't in it. But yeah, with this many people liking this comment and nobody yet saying, "wtf are you talking about? It was obvious. You're just dumb," I think that means it is definitely a joke from earlier in the show. I'm thinking he touched on the fact that a lot of people think he's gay because of his mannerisms and he probably said he's 97% straight, lol. That's my educated guess knowing his work.
