Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for September 20, 2023

Who’s there?Ivor. Ivor who? Ivor nosebleed. It’s is just a nosebleed, right?

Knock yourself out.

He already said that and look what happened.

…that crazy Maxwell and his silver hammer…

this does not look good

Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door, someone is!

…gives new meaning to being in the nose bleed section…

maybe they should play a different game.

Who’s not on first any longer.

“And then I had to go to the police station. And they didn’t even GET the joke, down there!”

—Bobcat Goldthwait.

Who’s*their* undertaker, underdawg?

Who’s their Sp.elling?

Joe Tory, he the Yankee Skipper.

No need to ask. They’re still right where you left them.

Is that blood or aspirated pumpkin spice spam?

Just as the kind of chocolate I like…dark.

Okay, once you’re inside the yellow tape, remember not to touch anything. And definitely let us know if the corpse speaks.

did you feed the person laying under blanket too many strawberries?

Somebody’s knocked off the knock-knock responder!

Gallagher?

Comix Noir

The voices in his head made him do it …!

( one in particular … Boo )

is this murder in the rue morgue week for frog applause

This is why I don’t like knock knock jokes. They never end well! Or start well.

Tough crowd!

“Oh, look. The painters dropped some paint on the drop cl… OMG”

Love Gallows humor. Dead people can be so detached, and above it all. Don’t you hate that?

He would—if he was there.

Ain’t that a kick in the head.

So I’m watching Free Guy on the DVR, and cannot figure out where I’ve seen the girl who plays Millie/Molotov.

It’s Villanelle, from Killing Eve. I’ll bet SHE would know how to tell that knock-knock joke!

Don’t hold your breath.

Delightfully grim! And the first time since childhood that I’ve laughed at a knock-knock joke! :)

Sorry, Charlie! I think your former friend, be-sheeted there on the floor, with copious blood pooling around his shattered skull, is unlikely to observe the standard response.

Rather, it occurs to me to ask, are you sitting there in shock because you slew you-know-who?
