NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2009 — David’s life is devoid of love and he’s looking for his break as a comedian. As if things aren’t difficult enough, he’s been suffering for a year from nagging pain in his genitals caused by chronic prostatitis.
In his new book “The Comedian and the Urologist’s Daughter,” (published by iUniverse) Stephen Goldfinger’s riotous tale involves a guy who just wants to get lucky in love. And David’s destiny takes more detours than punch lines in his comedy act. While at his urologist’s, he is smitten with a photo of Kara Rosenblum, his doctor’s daughter, and he steals her number from the doc’s cell phone and begins a tireless, delusional pursuit for her affection, which eventually leads to a restraining order. But fate intervenes again, dropping an opportunity in David’s lap: a prospectus for a local sperm bank in which Dr. Rosenblum is a major investor. So David goes to Jizz Quick to take a shipment of precious sperm hostage for ransom. It’s all part of the plan to win Kara’s love. But when local gangster Mikhail Alexyvitch and his transsexual hooker girlfriend, Fluffer Nutters, discover David’s plot, they hijack his treasure, and David has to plead with Detective Fuddnicky to help him get that precious sperm back and get Kara to his comedy show.
After ploys and diversion to get the sperm returned from Alexyvitch and to get Kara to his show, David bombs his routine, ends up in jail and sentenced to a month in a psychiatric hospital, where on his way he finds in the ambulance his former fiance Ariela Schneiderman. Maybe his luck really is changing after all.
