The Joke
(Two guys are in the breakroom
of an office. They faintly know each other. Don't worry, there are females
at the office, too, and they make $1.00 for every dollar the men make
for the same jobs.)
(Male Worker #1 has just
eaten a Laffy Taffy and reads the silly/wacky jokes on the wrapper. He
gets the totally original and awesome idea to tell the joke to someone
else, this time his co-worker.)
Male Worker #1: "What
falls down but never gets hurt?"
Male Worker #2: "I
don't know, dude, I don't know." (eating and reading a newspaper)
"Nothing. It's impossible."
Male Worker #1: "Nope!
Snow!"
(Male Worker #2 gives one
of those polite laughs someone gives when they don't get a joke, but don't
want to kill the joke-teller's self-esteem or make them feel stupid. Male
Worker #1 doesn't notice that Male Worker #2 doesn't get it, he just thinks
Male Worker #2 was giving one of them 'that's lame' laughs.)
(Male Worker #1 and Male
Worker #2 continue with their day as usual, not speaking to each other
again during the day.)
(Male Worker
#2 is at his house, taking a bath. He has a gun pointed to his head. He
is about to pull the trigger when his face lights up with joy and excitement.
He can hardly contain himself.)
"Oh my god! Oh my god!
Snow! Snow falls down but never gets hurt...it totally makes sense! It
is possible! IT IS POSSIBLE!"
(Male Worker #2 sets his
gun down. He gets out of the bathtub, dries off, and gets dressed in a
hurry. He grabs his keys and gets in his car and drives to another house.
It is nighttime outside.)
(He arrives at the house,
parking in the driveway sloppily. He gets out, leaving the car running.
He tries to open the front door, but it is locked. He goes in the house
through a side window.)
(Once inside the house,
he walks quickly, glancing inside rooms. He gets to a room at the end
of the hallway and turns the lights on.)
"Oh my god dude! Snow!
Snow falls down! It never gets hurt! You're so funny dude! I get it! I
get it now!"
(Inside the room are Male
Worker #1 and his wife. For all we know she could be a prostitute. But
that's highly unlikely. Needless to say, Male Worker #1 and his wife/possible-prostitute-but-probably-not
are freaked out, scared, frightened, shocked, etc.)
Male Worker #1: "What
the hell is going on? Is that you, Stan?" (puts on glasses)
(Male Worker #2 runs to
the bed, gets under the covers, takes Male Worker #1's glasses off and
stares him straight in the eyes.)
Male Worker #2: "You...are...the...funniest...person...alive!
I love you! Dude I know it sounds kinda gay but I love you! Snow! Get
it! Snow falls down but never gets hurt! Like it doesn't fall down literally!
It 'falls' from the sky! But really it floats! But people say it falls
slash falls down! Plus snow can't hurt! It doesn't have feelings! Even
if it really fell, it wouldn't get hurt! I love you dude! Haha! I love
you!!!"
Male Worker #1: "What
the hell are you talking about?"
Male Worker #2: "Don't
you remember?!?" (squeaky voice) "You don't even know your own
funniness, I guess." (gets out of the bed, rips the covers off, and
jumps back on the bed) "Dude, that joke you told me today...solid
gold! Remember! In the lunch room! It was magic!"
Male Worker #1: "Dude,
how do you know where I live, how did you get in, why did you come in
without knocking, why did you turn the lights on in here, why did you
get in bed with us, why did you pull the covers off, and why the hell
would you do all that because of a joke?!?"
Male Worker #2: "You
don't understand!" (He sits on top of Male Worker #1, turns him on
his side, and punches him in the side of the head.) "You don't understand!
You're hilarious but you don't realize it! I almost didn't realize it!
But thank god I did!"
Male Worker #1's Wife/Possible-Prostitute-But-Most-Likely-Not:
"Who is this, Morgan?"
Male Worker #2: "THIS
IS BETWEEN ME AND MORGAN! AHHH!!!" (throws Male Worker #1's Wife/Possible-Prostitue-But-Chances-Are-Not
off the bed onto the floor) "You should bow down to this man's comedic
talent! He's gonna be famous someday! He's gonna be famous!"
Male Worker #1: "Stanley,
get out of my house! We'll talk at work tomorrow."
(Male Worker #2 jumps back
over to Male Worker #1, sits on top of him, holds his shoulders down,
and looks at him straight in the eyes.)
Male Worker #2: "We'll
talk about it...NOW! I'll start! You are the funniest guy the world has
ever seen! I love you! You're super funny! I can't believe I didn't realize
it until today...well tonight actually...but same dif! Lol!"
