ENDS.

Odd a collection of awful jokes, made really quite sublime, by an odd setting.

Just got the title, you must announce that at the beginning, that rules as a title.

Thanks for feedback, yep the gags were bad but in the odd setting, maybe it works, maybe not.

It works, I did say that didn't I. It's a nice setting, that sells the gags well. If anything go the full Vic and Bob and use totally bizarre crap jokes.

Mm, it seems to be a way of using up crap jokes. I mean, the jokes are undisputably crap, but deployed in an ironic, surreal fashion. You know, I think it works. Like a lot of other stuff though, I don't reckon it can see the light of day unless you've "made it."
