A woman with small boobies buys a finely carved mirror at an antique shop and hangs it on her bathroom door.
The next morning, she playfully says,"Mirror, mirror, on my door, make my boobies size 44."
There is a flash of light, and her boobies grow to enormous proportions.
She runs to tell her husband what happened and in minutes they both return.
The husband crosses his fingers and says,"Mirror, mirror, on the door, make my manhood touch the floor."
There's a flash of light, and both of his legs fall off…
Joke Poo: Wishful Plumbing
A plumber with persistently clogged pipes buys a high-tech self-cleaning toilet at a futuristic expo. He installs it in his own bathroom, eager for a change.
The next morning, he jokingly says, “Toilet, toilet, on the wall, make my pipes never clog at all.”
There is a whirring sound, and his pipes become completely pristine, like brand new.
He rushes to tell his apprentice what happened, and in minutes they both return to the bathroom.
The apprentice, envious and greedy, exclaims, “Toilet, toilet, on the wall, make our business be the biggest of all!”
There’s a loud gurgle, and the entire city’s sewage system now drains directly into the plumber’s small bathroom.
Alright, let’s dissect this joke!
Key Elements:
- Setup: A woman with small breasts acquires a magic mirror. This establishes a premise of wish fulfillment, specifically related to physical appearance and vanity.
- The Wish: The woman wishes for larger breasts (size 44). The mirror grants her wish.
- The Husband’s Wish: The husband witnesses the magic and attempts a similar wish, related to his masculinity and sexual prowess (specifically, length).
- The Twist: The husband’s wish is fulfilled literally, but to his detriment. Instead of his penis growing, his legs fall off, rendering the outcome absurd and undesirable.
- Humor Source: The humor comes from the unexpected, literal interpretation of the husband’s wish, playing on the double entendre and the common misconception that wishes are granted without consequences. There’s also a degree of schadenfreude (pleasure derived from another’s misfortune).
Let’s Enrich the Humor with Some Interesting Facts and a New Take:
Interesting Tidbit (related to mirrors): The oldest mirrors weren’t made of glass. Early mirrors were polished obsidian (volcanic glass) or metal (copper, bronze, silver). The quality of the reflection was directly tied to the skill of the polisher, and good ones were prized possessions. Imagine trying to make a wish on a tarnished bronze mirror!
New Joke Idea:
A software engineer stumbles upon a magic mirror at a garage sale. Intrigued, he whispers, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, debug my code and fix it all!”
The mirror glows, and a notification pops up: “Error: Stack Overflow. Please update your programming skills.”
Why it Works:
- Relates to Key Elements: It maintains the magic mirror premise and the wish fulfillment element.
- Replaces Gendered/Body Focused Elements: It shifts the wish fulfillment towards a skill improvement.
- Modern Twist: Instead of vanity, the wish relates to a common struggle in the tech world – debugging.
- Humorous Twist: The literal interpretation of the wish is that the error the wish addresses is that of the programmer and not of the code!
- Leverages Tech Humor: The joke uses a common tech term (“Stack Overflow”) to create a witty and relatable punchline for programmers.
Another Enrichment idea based on the original punchline:
Instead of losing his legs, his belt tightens so much that his voice raises a few octaves and he keeps on singing Bee Gees songs.
