stopped feeding him.”

From Jennifer Schneider
Bob made the following joke while introducing the band:
“Tony was here once before. He got a bicycle for his wife.
Tony said it was a pretty good trade. Didn’t you, Tony?” (or something like that)
This really cracked him up. He and Tony couldn’t stop laughing.

Last night in Bob was in a great mood.
He introduced Larry and said “He hurt his foot today, we had to call a toe
truck!” He couldn’t stop laughing while introducing the rest of the band.

I’d like to say hello to Miss Linda Lu – president of our
regional fan club down here. She was down here just a minute
ago, but they hustled her outta here — I wish she’d come back —
I’d like to see her.

Last night in Oklahoma City, while introducing the drummer…..
“He must have thought he was playing golf today because he wore two shirts,
in case he gets a hole in one.”

David Kemper on drums, ladies and gentlemen……David and I were in the
Pickled Parrot* this afternoon and David asked the waitress if they
served crabs…..She said “Buddy, we’ll serve just about anybody….”
*the pickled parrot is a popular restaurant/bar in downtown Minneapolis,
about a 1/4 mile from the Target Center.
Camden, July 28, 2000 From: Brian J. Chase Also loved Bob's joke of the night: "David got a hammer last night and hit the sack" and then later about Tony: "He hit the sack too, and he wasn't even going to bed". No one seemed to notice this second one, but I simply couldn't stop laughing.
From: J R Beresford-Howe The funniest thing I ever saw Dylan do on stage was in San Diego, at Golden Hall during his first mixed born again/secular tour.... he told a story about a honeymooning couple next door to him at the hotel, and announced that he wanted to dedicate the next song to them. Then he played "Ain't Gonna Go to Hell for Nobody."
Belo Horizonte, Brazil show, August 19, 1991 The Telegraph, Winter 1991, Issue #41 Michele Simpson sent it to me Jan 15, 2001 "Does Harry Belafonte come from around here?" Bob asked. "He ought to, it rhymes with Belo Horizonte".
From Matt Wilson mwilson citizensconferencing.com
When Bob shared the bill with Joni Mitchell in Chicago, 1999, he
introduced "Make You Feel My Love" by saying, "This is a song I wrote for
Garth Brooks. Regrets, I've had a few... but then again, too few too
mention."

From John Domini jdomini northwestern.edu Bob D played a club show at Park West in Chicago, late '99, & among the standees along the stage was someone madly scribbling notes of some kind. Dylan, in great spirits all night, finally grinned down at the fan & asked: "You writing a check for me?" source: http://www.expectingrain.com/jokes.html
