Another Rorschach Test

Inapired by David Bussells sketch

INT. PSYCHOLOGIST'S OFFICE - DAY
RORSCHACH FROM THE WATCHMEN IS SITTING ON THE EDGE OF THE COUCH AS THE DOCTOR STUDIES HIS NOTES.

DOCTOR:
Well Mr Rawshank, I'd like to try something different today, I will show you a selection of cards with abstract images on them & you have to tell me what you see.

RORSCHACH:
I don't like the sound of that Doc!

DOCTOR:
It's perfectly common test I assure you. You may know it better as the Inkblot test, named after it's inventor professor Herman Inkblot. There are no right or wrong answers, just say the first thing that comes into your mind.

HE HANDS RORSCHACH A CARD.

DOCTOR (CONT):
What do you see there?

RORSCHACH:
Um, I see... A Mirror.

DOCTOR:
Okay, how about this next one - what do you see?

HE HANDS HIM A NEW CARD.

RORSCHACH:
Same as the first one... a Mirror.

DOCTOR:
Right. And this one?

HE HANDS HIM ANOTHER CARD.

SUBJECT:
Still a Mirror.

DOCTOR:
Mr Rawshank, may I ask? Has anyone ever told you that your face looks like two guys F**king

Rorschach: (SIGHS)
Yes! All the time.

END:

Ha!

But I'm going to hold back and wait for don to weigh in on this one. My predictions:

1. "At least this one's original"
2. Something half clever about plagiarising a plagiarism
3. A big picture of a shit

Not bad. I'd change the final line to "Hmmmm...interesting..." though. But that's just me.

I like it and I think Herman Inkblot is a great name. Theres something that makes me giggle about the doctors observation of Roschacks face. It's probably because its funny.

Nice one.

Cheers all.

I like that, I like it a lot.

Very good but lose the intro joke about inkblots. But otherwise yeh top notch.

Maybe the filthy psyhiatrist asks him to scowel so the 2 men f**king are animated?

Clever one.

I had to Google the Watchman character and after that it made sense. Good idea, not read Bussell's yet though, but I presume you're safe. ;)
