An obvious pun

We see a door, the handle is loose and it is off its hinges. Suddenly the door moves and a man in a trench coat carrying a copy of Das Kapital and wearing a purple flower in his lapel steps out and say's.

'Says..... 'Throwaway'

I'll leave you all to figure it out

I don't know which is worse? Me for stupidly posting half a sketch or others for failing to pounce? Talk about sending it over and letting someone else head it in! I remain amazed and on a comedy site as well, dear god!

Half finished? The Ulysses gag was better than I thought

Are you serious?

I don't know ask james Joyce

I'm awful sorry I hope you don't take this the wrong way but I honestly have no idea what it is you're saying?

I'm normally on the ball but I'm not infallible so please for the benefit of an idiot would you expand.

I fear a basic error on my part in the first instance is turning into something that I am unable to perceive if its nice or nasty, complimentary or derogatory?

I have to ask ask as since my ban was lifted I have promised not to get involved in any type of stroppy capers.
Cheers

Sorry Teddy my fault, I wasnt trying to make any comment to upset you..

I read what you had writen and the first thing that came into my head was 'Throwaway'

Which is an import, and bizarre, part of Ulysses.. A book by James Joyce that gives rise to much thinking on modern comedy.. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1800336145/a-comic-of-james-joyces-ulysses-seriously

It was simply an impulsive reaction.. I didnt mean anything by it but letting my comedy mind work..

As I figured what you had written required a punch line..

Trusting I havnt upset you or you have taken my comment in the wrong way.. I was just trying to be funny.. Admittedly something I'm told I fail at on regular ocassions..

Hopefully the admin people will see that you've done nothing wrong and I apologuise if I've spooked you

RAdio 4 recent did a whole day on the novel if you are interested

Whilst I found your reply to be obscure I am in no position to judge its humour level as it has been years since I read the book.

Thanks for your concern about my tenuous grip on these boards.

I have to say I still remain amazed that you never saw the punchline, its as plain as the nose on Molly Blooms face.

No I missed it.. But I love the Bloomsbury thing

PS anymore?

Okay. I'll bite.

Hmmm.. broken door.. hmmm.. ajar.. off its hinges.. hmmm.. think of a bracket.. hmmm.. trench coat.. I'm getting Lime.. oh.. Das Kapital.. hmmm... Marx and his brothers.. hmmm.. purple flower.. Cairo.. Claudius.. OH!! I got it!!

"...steps out and says: 'Is this some kind of joke?' "

I'll pass it on to my neighbourhood douzaines of monkeys: give them enough time and they'll come up with something.

If you are calling your sketch "An Obvious Pun" then you either need to make it extremely obvious or deliver the pun.

I don't get it.

You will Badge!

Cheers Marc!

Ahh It took me a while but I got it in the end.

"I'd better fix the door love, I think this purple flower is turning me into a Commie."
