Bad News

Father:I’ve got some really bad news.

Mother:I can see it in your eyes.

Father:I’ve been told there’s no hope.

Mother:But this is wrong!

Father:Come along; we’ve got to be strong…

Mother: (SOBS) But our little boy’s going to die…

Father: …be strong; for him!

Mother:He’s only seventeen!

Father:We can get through this; together, as a family!

Mother:Is there nothing we can do?

Father:Well I suppose I could turn down the transfer to Bridgend.

Erm it's ok, but er this joke was old when mountains were young, and our ancestors were amphibians. Sorry usually like your stuff, but this needs an extra twist, or else it's a tad prosaic.

How can it be old, it refers to the recent spate of suicides in Wales!

Shoot now I get it, being a bit Blond today. Winterlight I am very sorry I thought it was a football team, in retrospect this is very good.
Seriously good I will leave my post up as proof of my foolishness.

n.b. interesting 3 skits on this subject (2 of them by me), seems to have dodged the bad taste filter.

Well spotted BB. I thought it was in bad taste but didn't think it was particularly old....suspect there might have been other Bridgend posts a while back.

I am an idiot. But I write many good skit, with bad bum grammar, and sometimes poo. I like jelly, I like peas, but not together. Thats makes me MAD!
