185 - The Joke Game
In IRC, Joe and Jules taught us
about an improv game called 185. The premise is simple. You think
of
a noun, say for instance "statues", and then construct
a joke in the following way...
185 statues walked into
a bar. The bartender said, 'Sorry, but we don't serve statues
here.' The 185
statues said, "(some punchline
related to statues)."
You'll get the idea once you see our suggestions.
