NOAH IS ON AN ARC THAT IS SINKING AT A 30 DEGREE ANGLE WITH WATER UP TO HIS THIGHS, AND ONLY THE DUCKS LOOKING COMFORTABLE.
HIS WIFE IS STARING AT HIM WITH THINLY VEILED CONETEMPT AND ANGER:
Naamah: Noah you bloody idiot, how many times did I warn you?
Noah: Ok fair enough love, in hindsight, even though I swore I wouldn't leave any animals behind, I perhaps should have made an exception with the Woodworms
Not bad that I do love a bit of Biblical malarkey. But for me the line 'Only the ducks looking comfortable' is bang on the money funny and makes the thing work.
Oh and the title is as smart as new paint as Long John Silver would say,
Well thank you
That arrived in the final edit
See editting is worth it who knew
Good gag. Alas, Julian Barnes got there first, in A history of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters.
Good gag.
They've taken the book of Ruth out of the Bible. Ruthless.
I took all the German names out of my phone and now its Hans Free.

This happens to me a lot, and my mentality is that if you think of something independenly, it's yours.
Good gag (yeah I know I said that before but I don't want another This Post is Off Topic).
I liked it. Very tight. Tight is always good.

That makes sense - but of course listeners won't always think the same way, is the danger.
We've had to throw a bunch of sketches away in our group because Finnemore subsequently did something almost identical. The weirdest one is when I wrote a parody of a Stewart Lee joke, and about 2 years later Stewart Lee did it himself

As my scout mistress told me.

Makes sense too.
One of my favourite lines is, 'My wife thinks I'm immature. She told me over din dins.' At my first festival that was one of the gags I was relying on, and the act just before me said, 'My girlfriend thinks I'm childish. Must be the things I do-do.' Asshole.
Great gag, Steve! (Yes.)
I prefer your version.
Thanks for reading all
It can now be Arc Hived
