I travel alone so much, and the first thought is to grab the damn phone. in airports, just look around. nobody looks at anybody, or even out the window. it's obvious we can't live without it anymore, and as a comic on the road the phone is an essential tool. it's probably doing more good than bad for me, but it does make me sad that those of us who grew up without mobile phones, we know what we're missing.

More From Demetri Martin

Almost any tale of our doings is comic. we are bottomlessly comic to each other. even the most adored and beloved person is comic to his lover. the novel is a comic form. language is a comic form, and makes jokes in its sleep. god, if he existed, would laugh at his creation. yet it is also the case that life is horrible, without metaphysical sense, wrecked by chance, pain and the close prospect of death. out of this is born irony, our dangerous and necessary tool.
