Comedy Writing

I feel like such an idiot. How many times did I tell myself, “make sure you turn off the lights, lock the front door, and put out the grease fire."

I was not leaving my house, both to avoid getting infected with COVID-19 and to avoid running into Joey “Iron Fists” Cachatolli.

We are adjusting our policy of requiring sick employees to come into work so we can laugh at them for being frail and weak.
