A Stand-Up’s Guide to Standing Out
Jim Gaffigan is advertised as the clean “everyman/dad” comic who specializes in food jokes (Hot Pockets, anyone?). So, would you be surprised to learn that this very same stand-up comedian possesses a skill for standing out in a crowd?
We all want to be different in some way. We all want to have attributes unique to ourselves. And one of the ways we can distinguish from others is through comedy, which requires a great sense of humor. This is where the aforementioned Jim Gaffigan comes back into play in this blog post.
As Mr. Gaffigan explains, the journey towards genuine individualism involves many detours through unknown, foreign places…
like China?
Next stop for the Gaffigan family:
Family Feud!
Or the game show Jim Gaffigan would prefer:
Family Food.
Thank you, I’m here all night Monday-Friday.
The Great (Protected) Fall of China
And you thought only Superman could see through things?
Vertigo sufferers may not need apply for directions to the longest and highest glass bridge in the world. Eye-popping views are not uncommon with bridges of all shapes and sizes, but China has clearly raised the thrill-factor to a new level. And, impressively, this ground-breaking sight was constructed for the everyday visitor. That means experience climbing Mt. Everest is not a prerequisite, which was a courteous touch on the part of Haim Dotan. The Israeli architect has certainly made his impression in far away China.
The six-meter wide bridge stretches 430 meters over a 300-meter-deep valley between two cliffs in the beautiful Zhangjiajie Park, said to have inspired the scenery for the sci-fi movie “Avatar.”

CNN also reported that a bungee jump will be set-up at the bridge. YouTube videos will follow shortly…
Mr. Dotan’s imaginative creation will also be conducive to the artistic, fashion-forward and, quite frankly, the brave: Fashion runway shows.
Safety inspections may be slightly more frequent than other, more pedestrian bridges. However, seeing and speaking with safety professionals and engineers might be nice, even if to just put visitors at ease.
That would be the transparent approach.
