I have a problem with a friend of mine named Del Griffith he tells long boring stories that don't go anywhere

You know everything is not an anecdote. You have to discriminate. You choose things that are funny or mildly amusing or interesting. He’s a miracle! His stories have NONE of that. They're not even amusing ACCIDENTALLY! "Honey, I'd like you to meet Del Griffith, he's got some amusing anecdotes for you. Oh and here's a gun so you can blow your brains out. You'll thank me for it." I could tolerate any insurance seminar. For days I could sit there and listen to them go on and on with a big smile on my face. They'd say, "How can you stand it?" I'd say, "'Cause I've been with Del Griffith. I can take ANYTHING." You know what they'd say? They'd say, "I know what you mean. The shower curtain ring guy. Whoa." It's like going on a date with a Chatty Cathy doll. I expect he has a little string on his chest, you know, that I pull out and have to snap back. Except I wouldn't pull it out and snap it back - he would. Agh! Agh! Agh! Agh! And by the way, you know, if anyone out there is telling these little stories, here's a good idea - have a POINT. It makes it SO much more interesting for the listener!
