Week 1: Jayus

[caile]

The thing about jokes is, they're context dependent. Like, there's this story I tell that goes like this: A certain fellow, let's call him Donald, went to a dance one night, in the summer presumably, when the night is warm and big black junebugs clack through the air like flying prunes, as unloved but not as high in fibre, and fireflies and drags

I like the way you pulled us along for this story. And I did get the joke. I've heard others with similar set-ups, but the punchline surprised me.

Lol...well, I thought it was funny anyway. When I went to church camp, we always tried to fake Rapture the camp pastor. You know, laying clothes around and making it looked like he was the only one left. Nothing says "love you!" like fake Raptures.

Fake Raptures, haha! That's excellent.

I feel like I should start a band and call it that. ;)

That is a really good prank, actually. In context, of course. :)

As a reformed Southern Baptist, I get this.

I also laughed when I read a "40 of Johnny Walker" but that's only because I'm in the alcohol industry.

Excellent execution. Tricky ending. Well done.

Ha! Nicely done. I like your style; you made this joke a very engaging story.
