Skyscraper? (Photo credit: Naveen Roy)
From ajokeaday.com, though I first heard a version of this thirty years ago.
Bill, Jim and Scott were at a convention together and were sharing a large suite on the top of a 75-story skyscraper. After a long day of meetings they were shocked to hear that the elevators in their hotel were broken and they would have to climb 75 flights of stairs to get to their room.
Bill said to Jim and Scott, “Let’s break the monotony of this unpleasant task by concentrating on something interesting. I’ll tell jokes for 25 flights; Jim can sing songs for 25 flights; and Scott can tell sad stories the rest of the way.”
The others agreed this was a good idea so Bill told jokes for 25 flights, recalling the best of those he’d read at The Laughing Housewife.
At the 26th floor Bill stopped telling jokes and Jim began to sing.
At the 51st floor Jim stopped singing and Scott began to tell sad stories. At the 74th floor he said, “I will tell my saddest story yet…I left the room key in the car!”
Ha ha ha…he better be going back all by himself. Too funny. Good one
!!!
I laughed so hard, I almost peed my pants! Great joke!
LOL
Thud, as forehead slams into top of desk, now a tear wells not from pain but laughter……grinning so hard it hurts…never seen the punch line coming glad it wasn’t a bus.
So glad you enjoyed it. Because I heard it so long ago, I thought a lot of people would know it.
Do you have a link so I can return your visit?
Ha ha! That’s really a sad story! What’s even sad is if forgot his car keys inside his room.
That WOULD be sad!
I’d have kipped in the lobby and waited until they fixed the lifts!
Scott better stay away from a window or his friends might send him back down…. quickly.
This a me in a nutshell …. glad that Scott had to go down alone for the key. AWESOME!
Ouuuuch!
I was not ready for that punch line.
