A Depressing Competition Of Wits (And Gallows Humor, Too!)

41 views ยท

So, there's Fred and Frank. Now, they've been friends for years, but Fred, see, he's depressed. Badly.

Either way, so F+F are texting each other, and here's how it goes: (this is my first joke, so please don't judge too harshly)

Frank: Yo

Fred: Hi...

Frank: U heard about de competition?

Fred: Yeah...

Frank: You wanna hang out?

Fred: .......

Frank: What? I've got some noose (news) for you.

Fred: ...I(

Frank: Fine.... I guess we need to think of a plan, though. We don't wanna be hanging on the end.

Fred: *sigh* You know....you really can't rope me into this competition.

Listen up, buttercup. You thought this was funny? Okay, here's the deal: Fred's depressed, right? Frank's talking about a 'competition' and 'hanging out,' but he's really making a dark joke about suicide. Fred picks up on it with the line about not being able to be 'roped' into it, using wordplay to avoid literally being roped into a hanging. Get it now, genius?
