Oh Lenny"In the early sixties, Lenny Bruce inaugurated a routine that stunned audiences in San Francisco and New York clubs. One evening, Bruce's short riff convulsed the crowd for an astounding 17 seconds:
"'If you've ever, er, [pause] ever seen this bit before, I want you to tell me. Stop me if you've seen it. [Long pause] I'm going to piss on you.'"
Bruce, Lenny [born Leonard Schneider] (1925-1966) American comedian [noted for his obscene comedy routines, and for such works as his autobiographical How to Talk Dirty and Influence People]
