He offered to pay my Grandfather (16 at the time) $10 to drive the car across town and park in a certain spot. My trepidatious grandfather inspected the car and then, to Guido's objection, opened the trunk. There was a body wrapped in a carpet. My Grand father refused the offer. It's what kept him out of the mob. My Great Uncle Guido went on to control all the farm labor unions in Central California. True story.

He said "Sistah, you here with whitey tonight? What, you get tired of taking a REAL dick or was you lookin' for a relationship with insurance?" I've never been happier to be picked on in my entire life! Sadly, this was edited out of the show .

    A lot of people nowadays won’t get that this is one of the greatest bits of all times. Another comedian could makeup a more outrageous story but Pryor lived it. Even great comedians write stuff down but you can tell that he’s so good he was telling the story in the moment! The timing and the energy doesn’t lie. Pryor is the greatest

      @@humanforotherhumanst4619 Yeah it is actually Italian but it's proper language and means testicles. Not balls. English We say balls which to a foreigner would mean like the object (basket ball baseball etc) so it isn't some colloquial where it means something else in their language but used to described testicles. It is actually the word for it.

      And just to think when Richard first hit the scene many critics were comparing him to Bill Cosby in which he said himself he was inspired by him. Once Richard started being himself and cussing in his standups, that's when he took off and never went back.
