comedian
"I can type 100 words a minute, but they're all errors!"
"The only thing I hate about Work Christmas parties is trying to find a new job the next day!"
"Have you ever wondered why Kamikaze pilots even bother wearing a helmet?"
Comedians are a strange lot. To be a comedian (or any sort of entertainer, for that matter) one must cross that weird line where he or she actually thinks he or she is funny enough to entertain people with jokes.
See, it's one thing to be the life of the party and to say funny things in front of your friends and family. It's an entirely different thing when you say to the world, "I am so good at making people laugh that I think I'm going to get up in front of a live audience with the sole purpose of making them laugh."
The road to success as a comedian is strewn with the bodies of people who just couldn't make the transition from being a "funny person" to making people laugh up on stage. If you used to call into the local radio station with fake traffic tips, then you are obviously pretty funny. But that doesn't necessarily mean you are going to be a great comedian.
