What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Song titles with contrived narratives reminded me that I wrote a couple of tremendously dumb stories for the original “What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?” thread, which got trashed along with the rest of the official SUSD forums, but which I still have local copies of. So with apologies to those who’ve read them before, I’m going to re-post them here…

But firstly, also from the original thread but in a rather more-concise format, the following is some of my best/worst work. I regret nothing! / I am full of regret…
