What has Keith Plankton done recently?

I recently caught up with my friend Keith Plankton and I asked him if he done anything recently. He went on to say that he had done some very interesting stuff so I asked him to name 24 and here they are.......

He once killed a swan with a tooth brush.

He once whistled his way out of a coma.

He once smoked a pipe with his leg.

He once visited himself on holidays.

He once frisked a homeless ant.

He once talked for 30 seconds straight.

He once committed suicide to his postman.

He once caught a trout in an oak tree.

He once vomited in French.

He once swallowed a crow whilst cycling to a chemists.

He once stayed in the bath so long that his hair turned to bubbles.

He once forgot he had a forehead.

He once sneezed coppers.

He once tripped over his own tooth.

He once found a tiny falcon in his ear. He called it Chrissy.

He once thought up of a thing.

He once broke his arm because it was annoying him.

He once sang biscuits.

He once looked up.

He once danced the Atlantic.

He once folded his brother.

He once tried to sell his own neck on eBay.

He once dreamt he was a firework and when he woke up he was on fire.......at work.

He once got attacked by the shadow of a calf.

I liked the 'he once broke his arm 'cos it was annoying him'.... A lot of it is just randomness though Otterfox.

The crow chemist combo tickles my trout.

I've no idea what you'd do with these (adapt them for Twitter updates?) but there's some funny stuff there.

This is mental - but that's not necessarily bad!

It's certainly original in form and content IMO. The sort of thing you'd expect to find in a Monty Python book.

It's an interesting experiment actually, it made me realise that in a collection of seemingly random things, some I find funny and some I don't, with no real explanation. Just that some hit my funny bone.

i.e.

He once vomited in French.

He once swallowed a crow whilst cycling to a chemists.

He once broke his arm because it was annoying him.

Strangley, I think this would be good in a different context:

He once dreamt he was a firework and when he woke up he was on fire.......at work.

Not so funny on the page, but would probably be funnier if someone said it, maybe a character in a sitcom for example.

Why do I find it funny to vomit in French but not sneesze coppers or sing biscuits? Maybe it's just the word vomit.

I'd be curious to know what process you went through to come up with these if you are willing to tell?

Did he ever do anything twice?

After whistling his way out of a coma, did he come his way out of a whistle?
