A few week's ago my dyslexic wife started making some very odd comments, first it was "Magnesium Caseinate" followed by "Lactoglobulin, Iron Caseinate" a few days later "Sodium Caseinate, Sour cream, Whey Powder", Then it all came to a head when she got more aggressive with her comment's "Butter, Yogurt, Goats Milk, what do you know abouts goats milk!!, you know all abut the goats milk!! I know everything, I know everythiiiing" she sobbed. I had no idea what was going on as she got more and more aggressive. Then she broke down on the sofa and pulled a 4 pint semi skimmed milk from underneath the cushion along with a block of cheddar. At that point she confessed what was clear to me and uttered the words "i've read your dairy"
Easy target quicky
Decen idea but clumsily executed.
The jump between dairy and diary is to clumsy.
Maybe a joke on Pepys dairy?
I though the punch was going to be that she was lactose intolerant...
Set-up's too long. Punchline doesn't make enough sense and is too predictable (as soon as the word 'dyslexic' comes up in any joke/sketch you get the gist).
Cheer's all,
to reply individually
Soot - what do you mean clumsily executed? and how can I make my ONE joke better. As for pepys diary I don't feel this is broadly known. Although me and you are aware of Samuel Pepys (born 23 February 1633 - 26 May 1703)aswell as the fact he was an English naval administrator and Member of Parliament who is now most famous for the diary he kept for a decade while still a relatively young man. I don't feel that a less, how do I put this, intelligent audience than me and your good self would be aware of what I am reffering to. Then again if there so stupid are they really worth performing infront of. Of course am joking there money's as good as anyone's ,it's just they probably have less of it. PS not there own fault of course, but society's.
Timbo - If your going to come up with a punchline better than my very own do not reply. Note I have contacted the site moderator and hopefully your account will be at least suspended.
Wingnut - so it did'nt make sense and you predicted it. Who say's to wrongs don't make a right lol. To be fair as per my header stating easy target it's obvious to a degree in the sense that all will know it's going to be involving a anagram, but majority of these jokes still work if you don't know what the anagram will be. As for judging if the audience will know before the punch it's tough hence I used not so obvious dairy product's and made it more obvious with the latter product's
I would just like to add a special thanks to Wikipedia as a source of information for this post. I just had a slight laps and had to check that a word containg the same letters is what we refer to as "anagram"
Got to agree with Wingnut, it's far too long for that pay off. In general the longer the set up the funnier the punchline has to be.
Here's an edited version;
My dyslexic wife said to me "You had 2 pints of milk on Monday, a yoghurt on Tuesday and some cheese on Wednesday", I said "How do you know that?", she replied "I've been reading your dairy".
To be honest though, I don't think it'd work very well as when spoken the connection between "dairy" and "diary" is not clear enough.
Sootyj's idea might work better, such as;
It's a little known fact that Samuel Pepys was dyslexic and lactose intolerant, his most famous work was originally called "The Dairy of Samuel Pepys".
Oh, and lastly, what's you problem with Timbo's post? I assume your reply to him is a joke?
Or
being dyslexic I'm easily confused.
I never understood how Anna Frank hid an entire dairy in her loft for a year,
Cheers Tony,
I always prefer sharper/shorter gag's but thought I would see on this one how long I could drag it out for with just one gag and your's is geuinly way much better. Note - as a result I have again contacted the site moderator to make him aware of your behaviour.
As for the connection between dairy/diary, I believe that a jokethat's make's you think is better than one which don't, although you have to get the balance right.like I said previous when you come up with a gag it is hard to judge if an audience will get it off the bat, while telling the joke, when punch told or not at all.
As for my problem with Timbo it's nothing personell. I just find it difficult to type "lol" or add a "smily face" during any text format and will do for as long as I am the owner of male genitalia (no matter how small or crooked it is). Not that I judge people who do. I mean if there gaythat's there business, I don't judge anyone. lol
damn it,Ikept it secret for all this time.
