The Short End of the Stick
What's up with that? I don't know what kind of sticks there are in other necks of the woods but around these parts our sticks are pretty much the same length on either end. I mean, no matter which end you're grabbing, isn't it the same distance to the middle?

You got it a little mixed up. The saying comes from an old Yiddish saying: "The short end of the schtick", which is the first and faster part of a 2 part comedy act, usually involving farce. So getting the short end of the schtick usually meant being not as funny or as interesting as the long end of the schtick.

Oh, Simon. How can you even look in the mirror after a pun like that?
The shame, the shame...

Schtick is what I do.
I blame my father. I've got issues.
