Morgan Jay the comedian was doing a gig and started on some crowd work. He starts asking people what they look for in a partner and asked this girl what she looks for in a man. She states she's looking for a Persian man and Morgan asks the audience, "do we have any Persians in here?". One guy stands up in the back and shouts "I'm Perisan!"

Morgan runs to the back to hand him the mic to get him to say something to her and at the same time the girl turns around, looks at him and starts laughing, shouting OMG, NO!! The crowd quiets down, they're immediately confused as the guy that stood up looked like a normal college student but he also buries his head in his hands. Morgan looks visibly confused and asks  "I don't get it he seems like a nice guy". She shouts from the front, "HE'S MY EX!!!"
