While I ate my lunch today, I listened to Stephen Colbert’s Talks at Google interview. It was all really good, but his answer to the last question asked culminated in a story so hilarious I had to stop eating for fear of choking to death. If you have the time, give the whole interview a listen. If you don’t, here’s his answer to a question about why he chose comedy.

WARNING: Do not eat or drink during this video.

Epilogue: I just went in to use the bathroom at work and the story popped into my head. It started me uncontrollably laugh-crying all over again. I may be asked to leave the premises very soon.
