The Domino Player by Ian F White
Four old friends used to meet regularly
at their local for a few lunchtime pints and a ‘friendly’ game of dominoes.
Everything would have been great,
were it not for the fact that one of their number, Fred, won nearly every game
he took part in. He swore he wasn't cheating, but, “How else could he win so
often?” the others mused.
Slowly but surely, the constant
winning streak took its toll on their patience and they formulated a plan to sort spawny Fred out once and for all.
The next day, after a particularly
long, yet inevitably conclusive game, the two larger men grabbed their
antagonist and held him down while the other stuffed the plastic dominoes into
every orifice of poor old Fred's anatomy he could find.
Dripping dominoes as he went, Fred
waddled into town and headed for the doctors.
He slammed open the front doors,
dashed past the startled receptionist, through the busy waiting room and barged
straight into Doctor Smith's surgery without a pause.
Doctor Smith looked up from his
paperwork and growled, “Don't you ever knock?”
My favourite joke of last Century, and probably this one, too. Can't recall where I heard it first, but it was at least twenty-five years ago. Hope you find it amusing.
Cheers,
Ian
I found this en-tile-ly amusing. I would say this brand of comedy 'suits' you well, Ian, and will earn you 'scores' of fans, no 'bones' about it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI saw the word dominoes and was looking forward to a tale...LOL this borders on the 'knock knock' jokes.
