Two For One

Paul Bell

You Never Know.

 

The man looks very important.

He has a clipboard in his hand.

He stops me in mid stride.

Excuse me sir, do you know what planet you’re on.

Just goes to show you.

Appearances can be deceptive.



           

                         

Batman watched as Superman flew into sight.

How goes it, Superman.

Terrible, you wouldn’t believe me if I told you.

Pray tell my good friend.

Well, I was flying over Manhattan when I spotted Wonder Woman naked on top of a building.

What was she doing.

She was sort of writhing in a real sexy way, just inviting me to join her.

What did you do.

I got naked in mid air and flew right down there.

Bet she got the shock of her life.

She did, but not as much as the invisible man.

            Too late for the invisible man...

          • Tristan Robert Lange

            What a hilarious double feature, Paul! The first punctures the authority of appearances, while the second turns heroic confidence into one spectacularly awkward mistake. That final reveal still gets me every damn time! 🤣🌹🖤🙏🐦‍⬛

              Brings water to a glass eye.

              The first is a neat little joke about how quickly we judge people by appearances, and the clipboard makes the setup nicely ordinary. The Superman punchline is classic bawdy absurdity—the invisible man getting caught in the middle is what gives it the final kick.

                Teach him for being invisible.
