CHIEF: “Testimoni, Johnson?”
JOHNSON: “Solo un tizio che ha visto solo i piedi dell’aggressore. Ha detto che erano fantastici.”
CHIEF: “È un caso aperto e chiuso, Johnson...” (tira una boccata di crack) “Omicidi.”
La musica esplode.
Le teste esplodono.
FINE
Laughed out loud at my desk reading this — the “assailant’s feet looked awesome” bit got me. The joke lands perfectly as a one-liner, and the crack-pipe delivery in the last line is the kind of dark humor I didn’t know I needed. It’s on my coffee table now, and every guest who picks it up cracks up.
The one-liner is so absurdly on-the-nose that it had me laughing out loud on the bus, and the packaging is sturdy enough that the card arrived without a single crease. It’s exactly the kind of dumb, specific humor I’ll be framing on my desk.
The joke about the witnesses seeing only the feet is exactly why I ordered this, and the print quality is sharp enough that the punchline lands perfectly every time. It’s already gotten a laugh out of my one buddy who’s seen it.
