Oh dear!

Keith's Ramblings

For Rochelle’s Friday Fictioneers weekly photo prompt.

Let me read it to you!.

Open Mike Night at the Outside Inn was not going well for Joker Jock.

“What d’ya call an empty watering can? A watering can’t!”

Apart from a couple of groans, the bar was silent.

“What’s a prisoner climbing down a fence? Condescending!”

Not a single smile.

“Why do the French have small breakfasts? One egg is en oeuf!” 

“I know what you ate for breakfast”, yelled landlord Len, “puncakes!”

You should have heard the laughter!

“Shakespeare came in. I said ‘oy, you’re bard’!”

Hysterics!

“Landlords are so pompous” murmured Jock as he sat down, “they act like they own the place”.

    The landlord holds the keys to the beer, I suspect that’s why he got the laughs. Poor Jock.

    Dear Keith,

    I see you’re up to your old pun and games. 😉 Careful, you might’ve opened Pundora’s box. Tee hee. Good one.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    Haha, I like a light FF story for a change! Poor Jock though, outdone by the landlord

      Feel free, it’s a shame his audience didn’t think so! Thanks, plaridel.

    Keith I love all these puns and groan-worthy jokes – always make me laugh, especially the French breakfast 😄

    Great stuff. This reminds me of my friend who thinks he is a chocolate orange. I’m concerned he is going to be sectioned.

    Like a rap battle, those two were having a Pun Off. I think it was a tie. Condescending is hilarious.

      As an ex-landlord myself, I quite agree. Some nights after a long day I couldn’t wait to jump into bed!

      Sandra, for some unknown reason, your comments always end up in my spam folder! Don’t worry though, I check it every day and ‘approve’ any I find there.

        I find the problems vary according to the sites I am visiting. But certainly, for several months now, just clicking, entering and sending a reply is a thing of the past. Now I have to either log in (though I already am) or decline notifications from the site, or just simply can’t get the send button to work.

        It used to be so simple! This is just one of the ongoing issues WordPress really needs to sort out. Thank you for your patience!

    This is my favorite … “Why do the French have small breakfasts? One egg is en oeuf!” I need to remember this one. Very witty, Keith! 🙂

    That got me rolling in the aisle. Thank you for some breakfast time hilarity. (No oeuf here, just tea and toast).
