‘I’m fine, Watson. I just need to rest.’

‘I’m afraid that sleep is off the menu for you. Those blows to your head have left you dazed and very likely concussed. You have to stay awake.’

‘I don’t think I can…’

‘Let me help. I’ll tell you a story. Stop me if you have heard this one…’

‘No jokes, Doctor… my sides hurt.’

‘I think you’ll be all right. This one isn’t all that funny and you never laugh at my jokes anyway. So, to continue: An invalided veteran, a police Inspector, and a street arab walk into a bar…’

(Concluded here)

Aww poor Holmes...

Yeah, for once it is Holmes who was been inflicted with the whump.

Excellent, especially the punch line.

Thanks! This one was fun to write.

LOL! I'd like to hear the rest of that story. And I bet Holmes will too, despite himself. Mission accomplished! :)

[capt-facepalm.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And I have written the punchline into THIS DRABBLE!

An unexpected take on the prompt ;)

I usually try to take the unexpected path...

[med_cat]

Indeed ;)

I'm laughing and I haven't even heard the punchline!

[capt-facepalm.livejournal.com]

That's nice... keep in mind that Watson has a pawky sense of humour!

"...and that's when the tiger turned around and groaned, 'That's what SHE said!'"

[capt-facepalm.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And for your groaning pleasure, I have written the punchline into THIS DRABBLE!
