More of a skit really to try and liven up Critique a bit.
INT. VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT.
A MAN IS POLISHING OFF THE LAST OF HIS MEAL FROM HIS PLATE.
THE VIETNAMESE WAITER IS IN ATTENDANCE.
WAITER.
Did you enjoy?
MAN
It was the dogs bollocks.
Vietnamese restaurant
Thats pretty good, though it really is more of a one liner joke
It just came in my head, so I wrote it as it flowed.
I agree, it would be better something like this;
Just had a great meal in a Vietnamese restaurant. It was the dogs bollocks.
Definitely better as a gag.
yeh that works
Nice idea Steve, ancient gag though.
Now you've said that, I scoured the net for a similar joke but couldn't find anything like it.
But haven't all jokes been told and modified at some stage.
If it's ancient, I have never heard it before.
I will take comfort though that you like it, as I consider you to be a superior gag writer.

You're dead right about the jokes I guess, not the last bit though, for every half decent joke I write, theirs ten terrible ones 
That's about the proper ratio 
A similar one I wrote a few years ago:
I hate it when my Korean girlfriend gives me those puppy dog eyes.
The only way I can swallow them is to imagine they are cherry tomatoes.
They're both really good gags, and I've not heard them before, although I've heard many a caniphagous* Far East joke in my life. I remember being very amused as a youngster by Smith & Jones (?) saying "remember, a dog isn't just for Christmas...there might be some left over for Boxing Day"
*Is that a word? It ought to mean dog-eating, so if it's not, it is now!
Nice little gag Steven.
