A Rat Race For The Punch Line
(We’re eating dinner, and my mum’s convinced that rats are stealing our duck eggs. I argue that they’re not dexterous enough.)
Mum: “You’re wrong. When I was young, I was waiting for a bus when I saw a rat—”
Me: “—riding past on a tricycle?”
Mum: “No! There were three of them, they were—”
Dad: “—riding unicycles. Rats don’t need three wheels.”
Me: “And that leaves their paws free for playing their piccolos!”
Mum: “No! They were sitting at the side of the road—”
Me: “—playing poker?”
Dad: “Of course, there weren’t enough of them for bridge.”
Mum: “Shut up you two! Rats are clever.”
Dad: “Very witty. Natural rat-onteurs.”
(Mum gives up.)
