Monday morning writing joke: “Tears”

A songwriter sitting at a bar tried explaining to the woman next to him why he’d given up dating.

“Did both sisters know you were dating the other one?” the woman asked.

The songwriter nodded. “At first, they both said: ‘cool, date all.'”

“Then?”

“Then it wasn’t. So I said I was leaving. Tina cried when I left, and so did her sister, Marge. I told them, ‘Don’t cry for me, Marge and Tina.'”

The woman poured her drink on the songwriter and she left.

Monday morning writing joke: “Signage”

Before she became a novelist, Mary Shelley wanted to open a bar and restaurant in Berlin, but she didn’t have much money for a sign, and she was told the sign could not be very big.

Calling it

Bratwurst
and
Beer

was too many letters and did not look right, especially with one word longer than the other.

After much contemplation and taking the letters apart and putting them back together with some other letters, she came up with words the fit the sign size and her budget:

Frank
-N-
Stein.

Monday morning writing joke: “Hitting the right note.”

Ernest Hemingway was sitting at a bar in Havana when in tottered an old, wizened man who hobbled up to the piano, sat down, and began playing.

He played wonderfully until he came to one certain note in the middle of the keyboard, which he could never get right. Always the same note. Always played badly.

“What’s his problem?” Hemingway asked.

The bartender shrugged. “We tried running him off, but he keeps coming back. So, we got him a music teacher. He ran her off. We then tried a psychologist. He didn’t last long, but he did suggest we not treat this problem as a big issue and maybe, eventually the man will go away. So he comes in to play and we ignore him and if anybody asks, we shrug our shoulders and say, ‘It’s just the old man and the C.’”

Dickens: “Yeah. Make it a good stiff martini.”

Bartender: “Okay. Olive or twist?”
