A man is walking home alone late one foggy night... passing a grave yard. .

when behind him he hears:


Bump...


BUMP...


BUMP...


Walking faster, he looks back and through the fog he makes out the image of an upright casket banging its way down the middle of the street toward him.


BUMP...


BUMP...


BUMP...



Terrified, the man begins to run toward his home, as the casket is bouncing quickly behind him...



FASTER...


FASTER...


BUMP...

BUMP...

BUMP...


He runs up to his door, and fumbles with his keys, and he opens the door and rushes in, and slams and locks the door behind him.

However, the casket crashes through his door, with the lid of the casket clapping open and shut.


clappity-BUMP...

clappity-BUMP...

clappity-BUMP...

on his heels, the terrified man runs upstairs into the bathroom, and the man locks himself in. His heart is pounding; his head is reeling; his breath is coming in sobbing gasps.

With a loud CRASH the casket breaks down the bathroom door.

Bumping and clapping it's coming toward him.

The man screams and in desperation he reaches for something, anything, but all he can find is a bottle of Robitussin(R)!

In a panic he throws the bottle and it smashes on the coffin...









the coffin stopped.

Waaaaaay too much reading for such a limited payback.

Great. I'm relegated to collateral damage. :D

Skipped to the second post and saw there was no payoff. Scrolled up to the end of the post and see the silly pun. Victory.

Well Lance, looks like you upgraded from collateral damage to meat shield.

That's how teamwork functions when you're the ethnic minority.

Operation Canadian Shield has been a success. Luckily he missed the tanking propaganda of the enemy.

Salvaging this horrendous thread. Attached us as Sookie and Bill Compton. As a vampire, Bill sure drinks lots of rum and Coke. He's a lush.

To further salvage the thread, one of the best D&D stories I've heard in a while.

Also, stats for a relevant NPC.

That is funny K. So, looks like all I have to do to get folks posting on the board more is to tell the occasional really bad joke. I'll keep that in mind for the next time everyone starts slacking off.

And/or everyone gets free time at the same time! I'm in the lull between major assignment 2 and minor assignment 3 before my big exam.

We never doubted that for a moment.
