Boom Boom.
(Afternoon break at the hospital, Pesk and Debs are drinking coffee.)
Pesk - I had a patient in this morning, lifted up her blouse, and all around her middle she had this band of crusty yellowish scabs.
Debs - Ewwww!
Pesk - Yes, ewww! I said, have you seen the doctor with that? I reckon you've got pringles!
Debs - Pringles? (pause) Is that like shingles?
Pesk (waiting)
Debs (blank)
Pesk - (waiting)
Debs - (blank)
Debs - Is that a joke then?
Pesk - Yes.
Debs - Oh! Ha. Ha. Pringles! Shingles! You got me there.
Pause.
Pesk - Did you know that the word gullible isn't in the dictionary?
Debs - Is it not? Wow!
Pesk - Actually it is...
Debs - Oh. Oh... Is that another joke?
Pesk - Yes.
Debs - I don't get it.
Pesk - Is that the time already?

I hate having to explain my puns as well! Although in my case they are often much more obscure and tortured :)
I loved this! Cracked me up. I was feeling a bit isolated... (hubby fishing, daughter socialising, son probably snogging his bird) so thanks for the pick me up!
*goes off to look up gullable. :o)
