Jokes, Laughter & Tribulations

Mon 8/6 Blog Prompt: Aug. 6 is Lucille Ball’s birthday. I thought she was a great comedienne so in honor of her birthday, I thought we could tell a joke.

Wow, this one is going to be a hard one for me. I don't really tell jokes, not well anyway. But let's see what I can do... I think I got it. But a little background may be beneficial here.

Back 15 years or so when Bombshell was only 12, she had decided she wanted to be a comic. She made up her own stand-up routines, many of which featured her as superhero "WonderWear" with her faithful sidekick "Underbra." Though the following is about neither, it is one of the routines she did tell us one night at dinner. (My sister also posted it on her blog years ago, but maybe you didn't see it). So on with the show and I hope you can make it through without falling asleep:

Once upon a time in a city far, far away in a little pink house lived a little lady. She spent her days tootling around in her little pink car and cleaning her little pink house.

On one eventful day after eating her meal in her little pink dining room, the little lady took a bath in her little pink bathroom with its little pink sink, little pink toilet, little pink tub and little pink shower curtain. After her bath she put on her little pink robe and little pink slippers and brushed her teeth with her little pink toothbrush. Since it was still fairly early the little lady decided to go down to her little pink den and read a book. When she got to her little pink den, she walked across her little pink rug to her little pink chair and sat down. She took off her little pink slippers, curled up in the little pink chair, turned on her little pink lamp and proceed to read.

She was about a quarter of the way through the book when her doorbell rang. She put her book on her little pink table, put on her little pink slippers, walked across the little pink rug to the little pink foyer and opened the little pink door. On the little pink doorstep was a man dressed in blue. He said that his car had broken down and did she have a room for the night.

The little lady invited the man into her little pink foyer and walked him to her little pink stairs. Once upstairs she showed him to the first pink door on the right. In the room was a little pink rug, a little pink dresser, a little pink night stand, a little pink lamp, a little pink bed with little pink sheets, little pink blankets, little pink pillows and a little pink comforter. Little pink curtains hung from a little pink window.

After showing the man to his room, the little lady decided to go back downstairs and finish her book. When she got to her little pink den, she walked across her little pink rug to her little pink chair and sat down. She took off her little pink slippers, curled up in the little pink chair, turned on her little pink lamp and proceed to read.

She was about half of the way through the book when her doorbell rang. She put her book on her little pink table, put on her little pink slippers, walked across the little pink rug to the little pink foyer and opened the little pink door. On the little pink doorstep was a man dressed in green. He said that his car had broken down and did she have a room for the night.

The little lady invited the man into her little pink foyer and walked him to her little pink stairs. Once upstairs she showed him to the second pink door on the left. In the room was a little pink rug, a little pink dresser, a little pink night stand, a little pink lamp, a little pink bed with little pink sheets, little pink blankets, little pink pillows and a little pink comforter. Little pink curtains hung from a little pink window.

After showing the man to his room, the little lady decided to go back downstairs and finish her book. When she got to her little pink den, she walked across her little pink rug to her little pink chair and sat down. She took off her little pink slippers, curled up in the little pink chair, turned on her little pink lamp and proceed to read.

She was about three quarters of the way through the book when her doorbell rang. She put her book on her little pink table, put on her little pink slippers, walked across the little pink rug to the little pink foyer and opened the little pink door. On the little pink doorstep was a man dressed in yellow. He said that his car had broken down and did she have a room for the night.

The little lady invited the man into her little pink foyer and walked him to her little pink stairs. Once upstairs she showed him to the third pink door on the left. In the room was a little pink rug, a little pink dresser, a little pink night stand, a little pink lamp, a little pink bed with little pink sheets, little pink blankets, little pink pillows and a little pink comforter. Little pink curtains hung from a little pink window.

The little lady decided she would finish her book in bed, so proceeded down the little pink hall, she entered her little pink bedroom, with the little pink rug, a little pink dresser, a little pink night stand, a little pink lamp, a little pink bed with little pink sheets, little pink blankets, little pink pillows and a little pink comforter, where little pink curtains hung from a little pink window. She put on a little pink nightshirt and hung up her little pink robe and put her little pink slippers in her little pink closet. She turned on the little pink lamp, pulled back the little pink comforter, little pink blankets and little pink sheets and crawled into her little pink bed, pulling the little pink sheets, little pink blankets and little pink comforter up over her and finished her book. She laid her book on her little pink nightstand, set her little pink clock, turned off her little pink lamp and went to sleep.

When her little pink clock went off in the morning, she got out of her little pink bed, dressed in her little pink jeans and little pink blouse, putting on little pink sandals. She put her little pink nightshirt into her little pink hamper and made her little pink bed by pulling up the little pink sheets, little pink blankets and little pink comforter and placing little pink pillows along the little pink headboard. Now it was time to exit the little pink bedroom, go down the little pink hallway and down the little pink stairs and through the little pink archway to the little pink kitchen, with its little pink refridgerator, little pink stove, little pink sinks, little pink drawers and little pink cabinets. She opened one little pink cabinet and took out three little pink bowls and put them on the little pink table. Then she opened a little pink drawer and took out three little pink spoons and put them on the table.

The first man in blue came down to the little pink kitchen and sat in a little pink chair at the little pink table. The little lady asked him what he would like for breakfast. He said Cheerios. So she poured the Cheerios in to a little pink bowl, took a little pink jug of milk from the little pink refridgerator and poured some over the Cheerios and set it on the little pink table in front of the man in blue, who proceeded to pick up a little pink spoon and eat.

The second man in green came down to the little pink kitchen and sat in a little pink chair at the little pink table. The little lady asked him what he would like for breakfast. He said Raisin Bran. So she poured the Raisin Bran in to a little pink bowl, took a little pink jug of milk from the little pink refridgerator and poured some over the Raisin Bran and set it on the little pink table in front of the man in green, who proceeded to pick up a little pink spoon and eat.

The third man in yellow came down to the little pink kitchen and sat in a little pink chair at the little pink table. The little lady asked him what he would like for breakfast. He said Cheerios. So she poured the Cheerios in to a little pink bowl, took a little pink jug of milk from the little pink refridgerator and poured some over the Cheerios and set it on the little pink table in front of the man in blue, who proceeded to pick up a little pink spoon and eat.

And the moral of this story is..........................(to be continued tomorrow, if you don't figure it out today)

I must be dumb because I can't figure out the moral. I can't wait to see the rest tomorrow! I'm just pink with excitement!

Sounds like the Teeny Tiny Woman story. When I was younger, I wanted my Mom to read it to me every night before I went to bed. It drove her crazy having to read it every night. LOL

Beth said...

Stephani said...

LOL! I haven't figured it out either yet and I am so looking forward to the morale. I hope it is okay if I copy your story and sent it to my Mom! I love pink so this is right up my ally! lol! I am very impressed at how you wrote all of this out! It must have taken ages and ages! Will be back later for the morale of the story!! lol!
