7/10, it is okay but dreams aren't limited to musicians.

Point taken. Will endevour to rewrite. Originally came from Rohald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We have parakeets breading wild in the south of the UK. Thousands of them. Also a friend of mine has a one eyed African Grey. He also only has one eye. I'm not getting a parrot until I can find a Norwegan Blue.

That's mean.


It's meant to be mean because it's an Anti Joke, Anti Jokes are funny because they go against the normal expectations of a Joke. It isn't "Wrong" or "Immoral" because it doesn't hurt anyone.

Boring but catchy, and it fits with the rest of the story.

5/10.

He walked into the Doctors office right? How did he do that with a shattered Knee Cap? And how did he not know that they were shattered?

Besides that the joke that it's based on usually goes something like:

A young woman went to her doctor complaining of pain. "Where are you hurting?" asked the doctor. "You have to help me, I hurt all over", said the woman. "What do you mean, all over?" asked the doctor, "be a little more specific." The woman touched her right knee with her index finger and yelled, "Ow, that hurts." Then she touched her left cheek and again yelled, "Ouch! That hurts, too." Then she touched her right earlobe, "Ow, even THAT hurts", she cried. The doctor looked at her thoughtfully for a moment and asked, "Are you a natural blonde?" "Why, yes," she said. "I thought so," said the doctor, "You have a broken finger."
