More Knives
Woppas knives story reminds me of this one.

I was watching the show at the Bristol juggling festival, the Audience was made up of jugglers, a lot of whom are performers so the heckles were flying. As part of one act the juggler got three kids out and stood them at the back of the stage, he told them he was going to juggle and throw each object for them to catch, he then turned his back and picked up three knives. We all had a laugh at the little urchins faces when he turned around.

After a bit of banter and tension building (and having a go at the parents for not stopping him) he said it was only fair that he used normal clubs.
He passed the clubs to them and then announced that he now wanted them to throw them back,

Somebody shouted 'Give them the knives'. This got a good laugh, then with perfect timing the performer responded with
'Oh very funny... I got the same heckle last week at Butlins, shows the level of intelligence of this audience!'

I've not been heckled that much, most often its been good natured and fairly obvious stuff. The one that kind of threw me was an obsessive ex screaming 'I love you!', when I came on stage. All I could think of to say was 'Any other offers?' got a bit of a laugh.

Length? She must be obsessive for some reason.
