Hi Andrew!! The gag was "juggling on a motorcycle" written by Jim Hershey, a
magician who used to live in San Diego. We performed a lot in Balboa Park
(Street Show HELL) together. One day Mike and Greg Dean came to see me in the
park and they also stayed for Jim's show. As they were leaving, I walked back
to the car with them and he kept raving about that joke. I suggested he offer
to buy it from Jim who was 1) a big fan of Mike's, 2) in need of the money :)
and 3) the kind of guy who would think it a _really_ classy thing to do. Mike
paid him $100 for the joke, but not exclusive rights to it. Jim carried around
a xerox copy of the check for years to show people who accused him of stealing
it!!

You're right about Mike Davis' material. So much of it is "public domain" now,
it's amazing...
