His comedy was largely a stream of consciousness type of thing. I’m fairly sure that he only realized that some of the joke he told were stolen after they’d left his mouth.

It was more that he’d discover that an audience member was half German, half Japanese and would then go off on a spontaneous stream of WWII jokes about their ancestry.
