“I order the club sandwich all the time, but I'm not even a member.”
"I order the club sandwich all the time, but I'm not even a member, man. I don't know how I keep getting away with it."
The joke works on a level so fundamental that it almost doesn't feel like a joke. A club sandwich is called a club sandwich. What club? Who's in charge? Where do you apply?
This is what Hedberg did better than anyone: find the crack in everyday language and pry it open until something interesting fell out.
