I once attended a comedy writing workshop in my home town. However, a majority of the residents in my home town are considered elderly. I was not at all surprised to see that the comedy workshop, which consisted for six people, was filled with old people. Even the lady teaching the workshop was old.
During one of the exercises, the teacher gave us the beggining of a sentence and we were supposed to finish the sentence with a humors saying. The idea was that we were not supposed to think long and hard about how to make the sentence funny, but to write down the first clever thought that popped into our brain.
Our first sentence was:
In ten years I want to
I responded with:
Adopt a kid from China, so I don’t have to pay for karate lessons.
No one laughed.
The second sentence was:
Two heads are better than one.
I responded:
Unless you’re a porn star.
Once again no one laughed.
Then I was asked to leave.
