Sootyj's signage business, the joke that lasts

A DOG IS TIED TO A FENCE IT IS FROTHING AT THE MOUTH AND BARKING LIKE MAD

6 PRIESTS SURROUND IT PRAYING AND WAVING CRUCIFIXES

A PARK WARDEN COMES UP TAPS A PRIEST ON THE SHOULDER AND HANDS HIM A TICKET

SCENE2

SOOTYJ IS HURRIEDLY CHANGING A SIGN AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE PARK FROM

"No exorcising dogs" TO "No exercising dogs

Imagining an Alsation doing star jumps...

Neat joke but I don't recall ever seeing a sign in a park that says 'No exercising dogs". Maybe it's because I go to parks for other reasons.

I saw it on the bus this morning.

I also saw one saying no wanking in the bushes, so you've been warned!

Works for me. Although I did get confused about what sign he should be changing, but I think I worked it out.

Same, I wondered if he should have been putting the 'no excorcising' one up, but then why would the warden have given a ticket? Ah, read it again and get it now, the warden is blindly going by what's on the sign.

So are you implying that priests actually ignore the signs in a park then? They are actually only human and are drawn to a place where they can break rules?

What makes more sense to me is that someone would notice the sign saying 'No exorcising dogs', say it is a misprint, then you would reply: "No it is intentional, there have been an increased number of exorcisms of dogs in this park and it is a little off-putting to other visitors so we have had to ban it." The other would reply "What do you mean 'increased'? I'm surprised they have been happening at all." Then you would reply: "There weren't that common, but like football, as it became more prevalent we decided it would be best to ban it." Then you would both see the dog being exorcised... But that is just my mode of thinking.

I laughed out at the "No wanking in the bushes" line.

That'd be a good single frame/ no cast/ two second joke on all its own.

Funny guy.

Very good Sooty, Very Viz.

was thinking about this some more and a this idea could run and run with a reoccuring park attendent who simply places signs in the ground.

ie: children are playing football - he walks in centre of pitch and hammers in a "No Football" sign.

Couple kissing - "No kissing" sign directly in front of them.

Giant 'No Jogging' sign placed in front of a jogger.

"No Laughing"
"No Yawning"

as you see the run is infinite.

Maybe I'm childish but I find this trigger happy TV stuff quite funny.

The whole joke is that Soty can't spell.

Yup indeedy and check out some of the olders.
