He also ran the program for women in the sex trade and provides a few jokes from a recent performance by members of the program:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>*  \u201cI\u2019ve been in detox. While I was there I took a lifeskills course. They taught me how to shop, how to manage money, and how to pay my dealer on time so he\u2019ll keep fronting me drugs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>* \u201cWhen you\u2019re selling drugs on the street everyone wants to trade clothes for drugs. You can get a $200 pair of jeans for a $10 rock. Why would you go to Winners after that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[. . .]<\/p>\n<p>* \u201cWhen I first started in sex trade, a friend and I went down to the stroll and I get into a car with 2 guys. At first I thought it was kinky that they were into handcuffs, but then I found out they were cops.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>* \u201cBut the sex trade is a business like any other. If a john can\u2019t pay I turn it over to my collection agency \u2013 2 guys with baseball bats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>* \u201cAs a sex trade worker you have to be a psychologist. The only difference is a psychologist\u2019s clients don\u2019t ask to be peed on.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the National Post, David Granirer talks about a stand-up comedy therapy program he runs to help people suffering from mental illness find ways to cope with their issues.
