Major Joke of the Week

JUMBO Theater Major Edition!

Tom: All right Jim, I've got all the planning done for the big theater festival. I just need you to okay everything.
Jim: Sounds good! Which plays have you chosen?
Tom: Well, I was thinking Anything Goes on stage one, The Comedy of Errors goes on stage two, and there would be Rumors on stage three.
Jim: What? I thought you had this all planned out.
Tom: I do! Didn't you hear me?
Jim: I expect to hear specifics from you!
Tom: Look, this is very easy. I'll start from the beginning. First, Anything Goes on stage one.
Jim: That seems a bit permissive. Shouldn't there be a play there?
Tom: There is!
Jim: But you're just saying that anything goes on stage one!
Tom: Exactly!
Jim: Now I'm confused. Just move on to stage two.
Tom: Well, The Comedy of Errors goes on stage two.
Jim: That's a good plan, but which one?
Tom: Which what?
Jim: Which comedy of errors?
Tom: The Comedy of Errors.
Jim: Yes! Which one should we put on stage two?
Tom: Um, The Comedy of Errors?
Jim: Yes! Don't ask me! You're the organizer! Don't tell me you haven't picked a play for the stage yet!
Tom: But I've already told you that stage two will have The Comedy of Errors!
Jim: But there are so many of them! If you don't pick one, stage two will just be anything goes!
Tom: No, that's stage one!
Jim: Augh!
Tom: Do you not like The Comedy of Errors going on stage two?
Jim: You know, people were telling me you didn't have anything planned for this festival, but I didn't believe the rumors on stage two!
Tom: Oh, that's because we've got Rumors on stage three!
Jim: What? What have you heard?
Tom: Just that we've got Rumors on stage three!
Jim: Not very interesting rumors.
Tom: Nonsense! We've got a good cast lined up.
Jim: So what play is on stage three?
Tom: I told you! We've got Rumors on stage three!
Jim: But you picked the play, shouldn't you know what it is?
Tom: I've told you Rumors!
Jim: So you're just leaving it up to hearsay? This is crazy! This is anything goes!
Both: Stage one!
