Alright, I arrived at the rehearal hall to start setting up for the day, and I just clenched. I have let this show get to me to the point where I am psychsomatically getting frustrated just by walking in the door. So I am going to improve my mood by sharing with all of you the one joke that is guaranteed to make me laugh. Now, this isn't a great joke. If I'm in a really good mode I will maybe chuckle at this joke. But if I am overtired, or hugely frustrated, or having an awful day, this joke makes me guffaw. There are two parts.
Part I
Q: Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?
A: Because it was dead.
*giggle*
Part II
Q: Why did the chicken fall out of the tree?
A: Because it was stapled to the monkey!
*laughs hysterically* I have spent an hour in a parking lot late at night after some show debating the attachment method in re: chicken to monkey. Staples have always won (though if you're doing a lighting call safety chaining the chicken to the monkey is also acceptable).
I hope other people find this amusing. Have a great weekend everyone who is getting one.
- Joke!

Q: What do you get when you cross an insomniac, a dyslexic and an agnostic?
[Highlight below to see answer.]
A: Someone who lies awake at night wondering if there really is a Dog...
Q: What's green and sits in a corner?
A: A naughty frog.
Perhaps the chicken could be gaff taped to the monkey? Or attached with tie line?
The attachment method is up to the teller, though both the gaff tape and tie line lose a certain amount of the shiny you get with staples. But really, you can tell the joke and just make it whatever you have in your hands at that moment.
i would have voted for duct-taping the chicken to the monkey.
The duct tape contigent is always strong, given that duct tape works on everything. But you have to be careful not to use too much or you would obscure the monkey/chicken and that would be no good.
how about tie-line?
I heart you!
I
LOVE
THAT
JOKE!
I still laugh every time I hear it, but no one tells it as well as you and Wil. Egads, it makes me snort with laughter even when I'm well rested and in good spirits.
I'm sorry that your show is stressing you out. I should be back up more permanently soon.... maybe I can bring you lunch or tea or something and let you breathe.
Sorry, I must giggle again... I wonder why I find that joke so funny?
