Princes sense of humor

Not much is being said about his sense of humor. His musicianship and style we all know about but he had a great senSe of humor. People who have worked with him have mentioned it but no one has discussed it the past couple of days..it's one thing I'll miss among the other things I'm going to miss now that he's passed.
Ex-Chris rock askedhim about singing bad with mj. Prince said the first line was your butt is mine...now who's butt is who's? In a funny voice...
Or the jokes he'd make in concert during songs....

What a great loss.

Matt Laurer: What did the used to call you?
Prince: Sir.
Mat Laurer: They called you sir?
-Prince nods-

Prince: Master.

-Matt looks up in shock-
Prince: Just kidding (laughs).

Singing cream unplugged the past few years he would sing "you're so fine" "I wrote that line looking in the mirror"
Or the bluesy song he said with the line about eating potato chip..he had the plain she had the other kind...

He did a club gig in la in 94 and the crowd could not clap at the beat so Prince joked. "We better keep it rudamentary, I forgot, we are not in Minneapolis!" lol. The crowd booed, but lovenly.

Then he said, "We are in the key of hell no tonight." Funny dude.

All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

The bluesy songs he did at the O2 shows: one about a cross eyed woman and another about a three handed woman. Lyrics to both were very funny -- much more so than usual Prince or cover song lyrics he would do

I will always remember in Nice 2010, when during "Musicology" some folks in the audience were invited up to dance with P.

One girl a little "bizarre" came up and started a strange dance in front of P, with him smiling at her in a "appreciate way", then turnin' his face to us and doin' an incredible face of funny wonder.

I will remember it forever.

I remember there being some great stories about backstage practical jokes during the Revolution days. Anyone remember these? I believe they were discussed in the DMSR and Possessed bios.

Was it ever revealed what the "lets stick the 7 inch in the computer" line in Batdance was referring to?

Hah, yeah that's it! I'm also remembering one involving food...ring any bells? Like he was given a sandwich that had something he didn't want on it, so he threw a fake tantrum.
