Deathbed Quickie

INT. HOSPITAL.

A DOCTOR IS TALKING TO A DISTRESSED WOMAN.

DOCTOR:
We're doing what we can but it's proving to be more aggressive than we anticipated and has spread to the blood.

CUT TO ROOM: A MAN IS LYING IN HOSPITAL BED AND IN ANOTHER BED BESIDE HIM LIES A BANDANA-CLAD BLACK GANG MEMBER.

Can I be the first to say I don't get it.

I get it but it's a bit of a leap. Might work better if you can think of a few other visual puns...spread to the blood, hair/hare...and something else that I can't think of...

Fair enough, thought it might be too niche. 'Blood' as in black gang member.

Is it too Criptic?

:D

Just worked out why I wasn't getting this - I was reading it "BANANA-CLAD". You can see my confusion I'm sure.

:)

I didn't read it as 'BANANA-CLAD', thus once again proving my comedy instincts are sharper than Bussell's. Thinking this might work best as a cartoon? Or maybe not.

Probably suited more to the world of cartoons. Thank you one and all. :)

It's not that, I just had a beautiful woman distracting me with her junk.

This might work as a cartoon.

Now I know exactly how George Osborne feels when Alistair Darling steals his tax policies. Exactly. Angry

Just goes to prove that women and comedy don't mix. Pleased

(Oh lordy, Mom's gonna be mad...)

It's perfect as it is.
