I’m trying to remember the 7 Deadly Sins

Okay, here’s my attempt at a "Joke Poo" version of the 7 Deadly Sins joke, titled "Code Poo":

Title: Code Poo

I’m trying to remember the 6 principles of SOLID design.

I’ve got: Single Responsibility, Open/Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, Dependency Inversion…

…and I can’t remember the last one. It’s making me feel insecure!

Alright, let’s break down this joke and see what comedic gems we can unearth.

Joke Dissection:

• Setup: The setup establishes the premise: someone is trying to recall the Seven Deadly Sins.
• Punchline: The punchline is the revelation that the missing sin is Wrath (or Anger), which the speaker is currently experiencing because they can’t remember it. This creates irony and unexpected humor.
• Key Elements: The joke relies on:
  • Familiarity with the Seven Deadly Sins.
  • The ironic application of Wrath.
  • A relatable frustration of memory failure.

Enrichment & New Humor:

Now, let’s use some factual and interesting tidbits to create something new based on this joke. Here are a few options:

Option 1: Witty Observation (using etymology):

"You know, it’s ironic that ‘wrath’ is also etymologically linked to ‘writhe.’ Here’s a fun mental image: me, trying to remember the last deadly sin, slowly writhing in the agonies of forgotten trivia. Clearly, I’m not only experiencing wrath, I’m embodying its origin story. Maybe they should add ‘trivia induced writhing’ to the list of sins"

Option 2: "Did You Know?" Enhanced Joke:

"I’m trying to remember the 7 Deadly Sins… Pride, Envy, Sloth, Gluttony, Lust, Greed… …and I can’t remember the last one. It’s really pissing me off!

Did you know that in some early lists, the sin we know as Wrath was actually "Sorrow" or "Sadness"? So, technically, forgetting the list should just make me depressed, not angry. Guess my sins are evolving!"

Option 3: A New (Slightly Dark) Joke:

"My therapist asked me which of the Seven Deadly Sins I struggle with the most. I told him all of them are fine, except for Gluttony. Then he said, ‘and what about Wrath?’ I said, ‘If I had a problem with Wrath, I wouldn’t tell you about it, would I?’"

Explanation of Choices:

• Option 1 uses the etymological connection between "wrath" and "writhe" to expand on the experience of frustration. It takes the joke’s premise and adds another layer of humor through wordplay and imagery.
• Option 2 introduces a factual element (the variation in early lists of sins) to subvert the expected punchline. It plays on the original joke’s setup but offers a different, unexpected outcome.
• Option 3 twists the concept of wrath into a darker, more subtly threatening joke that plays on the idea of hiding one’s anger.

These options aim to enhance the humor of the original by using knowledge, wordplay, and unexpected twists. They all leverage the core elements of the original joke while adding new comedic flavors.
