My tux is at the dry cleaners.

“I thought it was a costume ball.” – King Louis in ‘Start the Revolution Without Me’

He thought it was a come as you are party

And his last

Don’t get your feathers ruffled.

“I’m the company mascot.”

Yes. Cock-tail. This costume has one of those.

He misunderstood the term.

It will be quite a while before he can wipe the egg off his face.

Actually, I’ve … urp… already been to … urp … three other … urp … cocktail parties … urp … today.

Yeah, I was chicken to come but I said oh what the cluck, might as well go.

What makes you say that?

Crossing the road to get here was the hard part

He works for KFC.

Yes and I think I laid an egg…

He thought it was a cockatoo party.

First party at that company. Previous compamy parties were pretty wild.

I take it there won’t be any chicks at this party

Maybe But the lampshade was taken and I needed something after I stripped naked due to intoxication.

“Yes…and last.”

What a cluck!

Do you like cocktails? Yes, have you heard any good ones lately?

“Nope. You never notice me when I dress normally, so I went for a different look. I have worked here twenty years”.
