A massage parlor. Oddly eager employees watch a Customer, who stands by an open window looking at the menu on the wall: MASSAGE $500 SALT RUB $750 DEFENESTRATION $5. The Customer says: “Well everything else is so expensive, I guess I’ll try ‘Defenestration.’”
Do you teach European history to high school kids? This is the comic for you. Please get your kids to draw this for me.
I’m absolutely honored to have the great Kevin Cornell submit this amazing rendition of six nine three:
As I mentioned yesterday, others have come up with this joke before. I didn’t steal it or anything, it’s just one of those obvious ideas that great (or even mediocre) minds will come up with on their own. Antoine Wilson found a nice rendition by Tom Cheney, who is a very fine cartoonist. However, I think Kevin’s version is far superior. First, because I like his style so much. But most importantly, because the joke is told without any dialogue. It only takes a second to figure out what’s happening here, and it’s much more satisfying because no one explains it to you. It’s a tribute to Kevin’s skill that he’s able to make the joke so clear without pounding you over the head with clues.
You can see more of his stuff here, though I wish he’d post more often because it’s always so awesome.
10 out of 10. Would eat. Thank you, Kevin. The rest of you — draw!
Amazing illustration
Thanks! I never know when people will like a joke, but this is one I enjoyed particularly.
