In Which My Career as a Comedy Writer Begins (And Probably Ends)

Here’s a joke in this week’s Women’s World, read aloud to the room today by my sister:

Q: What happens to frogs who illegally park?

A: They get toad.

It was requested by my father that she repeat it later, and people laughed genuinely at the silliness of it. The sudden wordplay. My sister looked at me expectantly. “That doesn’t make any sense,” I said.

Everyone vocally hated on me.

“You should change it to, ‘They find themselves toad’,” I said. And then I totally roflmao’d.

So, to recap:

Q: What happens to frogs who illegally park?

A: They find themselves toad.

Hollywood: I’m free this summer.
