Based upon a lame joke I made up in my head ages ago but never told anyone until today, and presented without apology.
Wife: Euripides?
Husband: Yeah, got caught on a nail.
Wife: Tragic.
Husband: Eumenides?
Wife: Uh, no. The sewing kit’s in the drawer. Eumenidoze yourself.
Now don’t get mad. I did warn you it would be lame, but you went on and read it anyway.
Tragically, you’ve only yourself to blame.
So what’s lame about it? I think it’s lol funny!
It has occurred to me that maybe I don’t completely “get” this, but it reminds me of the Marx brothers, and it made me laugh. Thanks for sharing it.
Thanks. It’s just a play on the sound of the names. I had to explain it to my husband, who said, after the explanation, that yes, he got that, but he was expecting there to be a deeper meaning. Humph.
Snort, snort!
Lori, I knew you’d get this. 🙂
