What's *your* punchline?
Based on Flatmate Tom's assertion that any evening is over when people start telling jokes ("you know, jokes jokes") the three of us thought it would be better/ more fun/ an interesting conecptual experiment (riiiight) to try and come up with punchlines to random joke openings. We weren't very good at it. 'Best' one of mine:
Tom: What happened to the plane load of sheep that went to Ibiza?
[silence as three red-wine-fogged brains creak about a bit.]
Me: They had it laaaaarrrge.
[Dave packs up laughing. I think this says more about Dave/ the amount he'd drunk than my abilities as a comedian.]
So...
How many Samuri does it take to change a light bulb?
Did you hear about the woman who could only eat cake?
So, Zidane walks into a record shop...
Go on. There's a comments box waiting for you. Make me laugh bitches.

a) It doesn't matter how many. The dark always wins, not us.
(Overprecious Commentary: Quite hard to know what to do with this one - where exactly does the current idea of a Samurai come from? In the end I went back to The Seven Samurai, but rather than take the obvious answer from the title, I tried to play off the famous last line, which no-one remembers)
b) "No," she said, "It's gone".
(OC: Again the obvious thing - an exaggeration and amplification of the classic Brass Eye sketch - must be avoided, for fear that examination would reveal that Chris Morris has finally stopped being funny. I decided to sculpt a variant on the classic "world's fastest cake" formula, with a pinch of pathos.)
"All I said was that he should try some-a other store!"
