"I 've been extinguished for years now"staff sergent Bobby Henline was nearly killed in iraq and now he does jokes about his appearence as a means of therapy. I dare you to go to San Antonio and heckle this guy.
It's open mic night at the Rivercenter Comedy Club in San Antonio. The club is the place in town where aspiring comics test out new material and try to get someone in the small crowd to laugh.
But Iraq War veteran Bobby Henline knows that before anyone can laugh at him, he must first make them comfortable with just looking at his burned skin and amputated arm.
"In case you didn't notice, I'm a burn survivor. I've been extinguished for years now. It's actually a rare birth defect. It's a sad story. My mother had to work in the circus as a fire eater while she was pregnant and she thinks she has the right to complain about her acid reflux. Mom, come on!"
The bit got some good laughs.
