Comedy Corner finds humor in the sky-line of Chicago

Story by Casey Mourlam   
I look out the back window of a shaky Jeep taking a final glimpse of the intimidating but welcoming skyline of Chicago.  I see what could be my future home someday rapidly falling back beyond my sights.  Twenty minutes before I started writing this I was walking down Navy Pier dreading what I would write for Comedy Corner.  Then, looking out at Lake Michigan, I saw the city skyline, and it hit me like a linebacker hits Rex Grossman.  I felt so dumb; I was surround by a city filled with humor-filled sights and people.   I felt an overwhelming feeling of things to write about.  Oh the options I had to write about.  Sit back and get ready to find out how funny Chi- town really is, and am not talking about their accents. read more
