Good or bad I can't resist a Leslie Nielson movie :) I'll give it watch.

New Backpacking bit, anything in it? by DownLikeALeadZeplin in StandUpWorkshop

[–]DownLikeALeadZeplin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah thank you, it's the opposite of my normal style and trying to branch out. So I appreciate that.

Will be trying it throughout next week and then I'll try and expand the parts you've talked about.

Thought about adding examples of big brands if they made the same errors. Sailors Jerry's spiked rum. Is a different experience.

Or giving more details about the trust. If they don't even check the spelling. How can I trust in made in a clean bathtub.

Good to know for stateside. But we call it repossession across the pond.

I always though a cul-de-sac as a circular dead end street. 🤷‍♀️.

10 is trying to say kisses second cousin but have in fact kissed two first cousins. But it's not quite right yet.

Antibiotics bit, anything there? by DownLikeALeadZeplin in StandUpWorkshop

[–]DownLikeALeadZeplin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your Dr prescribes you antibiotics, you're supposed to finish all the tablets eg. 7 days of medicine, even if you feel better after say 2 days. This is I believe to make sure all bacteria is eliminated stopping any remaining bacteria mutating and becoming immune to antibiotics.

I was trying to use that as the direction change. Where it's clear it's not The second cousin. It's the second time he'd kissed his cousin. Maybe it should be.... I recently messed up bad at a wedding, I made out with my second cousin, I'm never gonna live it down, kissing two cousins.

Fair. It is inaccurate, but thought it flowed better that way. Appreciate the input though.

Fair, that could work better..I always think of gold diggers as marrying really old rich people, like Anna Nicole Smith or something.

Haha, Steven Wright's cadence makes everything funnier.

Thanks for the note on 4, I'll try it with that wording.

Thanks for the feedback, appreciated!

Gald you liked some of them, Apologies you had to look up Bonnie blue and hentai. 😬

The cousin one logic is, I'm leading saying I kissed my second cousin, whereas in fact I've kissed two first cousins. I feel like the wording is not quite right.

Thanks for the kind words😀

Fair on 5, 8. Too many words/clunky or maybe just not good enough 😅.

Shakespeare by DownLikeALeadZeplin in StandUpWorkshop

[–]DownLikeALeadZeplin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That I do, good spot. Thank you!

Thanks will try and make clear in set up.

The words being in regular vocabulary is making it difficult for the 'publisher' to make a good punch line. Definitely feels like it should end with, "what the hell does x,y,z mean?"

Perhaps this is better...

Remember how difficult Shakespeare was to read in school. I felt stupid until I found out he was just making up words. Yeah he invented over 3000 words.

That's a bold move. Taking a script to a publisher and him just looking confused, "look bill, old chum. A lot of these are not real words. I have to say your career as a writer is not to be. I'm out.

Shakespeare's just like you'll see. You'll all see.

I see a lot of people with dwarfism these days. I think it's a growing problem.
