A Snafu at the Comedy Club:

“So thanks for coming,”

“You’ve been a great crowd today”

..as three folks applaud.

*

A Neighbour Snafu:

“How’s your wife Pippa?”

“That is the name of our dog!”

“Nice weather today!”

*

A Dentist Snafu:

“It’s now been two hours,”

Get your hands out of my mouth!!”

..the poor intern gasps.

*

An Unromantic Snafu:

🎵 “Why do birds ap-pear

ev-er-y time, you are near?”.. 🎵

then they shat on you! 😠

*

A Doctor Snafu:

Too many questions!”

“but you are the physician”,

“I pay the big bucks!”

*

Notes: Most of these are inspired by myself or other people I know. The really embarrassing snafus are under lock and key - sorry!

Thanks for reading.

    The day I hear someone ask about someone's spouse and use the household pet's name is the day I know I'm living in the right neighborhood.

    Haha!! These were great, gave me cause for some giggles!! My favourite was the one with the neighbour being called their dog's name! 😂 Great work Grz!

Meant to read them the other day when I was on your profile, but I got into your Wittle Frog story and just kept clicking the links to new stories that I hadn't read. Happy to be back today for some laughs! lol!

  • What a wonderful fun set of Snafu Senryu. I got a big kick out of ".. as three folks applaud." I will forever hear the Karen Carpenter classic with different ears as I wipe the residue off my face!!! 🤪🤩🤣😆
