I was dating an acupuncturist, but it didn't work out.

She kept needling me all the time.

I've always liked sketch comedy far more than stand up, perhaps because it doesn't sting. I understand that, in trying to be funny, a comedian is going to cross the line from time to time. But there's a willfulness in some comedians to act as if the line doesn't exist that I just don't care to watch.
