Once upon a time, there was an old light bulb that needed to be changed.  But no one knew how to change light-bulb diapers, and all the fish shops were closed.

THE END

 

Once upon a time, there was a piece of junk mail that advertised light-bulb diapers.  This piece of junk mail wanted someone to throw it out.  But before garbage day, the junk mail’s house burned down, and all the fish shops were closed.

THE END

 

Once upon a time, there was a man who could not find his pyjamas.  He found some junk mail about light-bulb diapers, but could not find his pyjamas.  Without pyjamas, this man could not go to bed and sleep.  And so he did not get any sleep until he died.  Naturally, all the fish shops were closed.

THE END

 

A light-bulb diaper, a burned-down house, and pyjamas walked into a bar.
“What will it be?” asked the bartender.
“I’ll have a glass of urine, please,” said the light-bulb diaper.
And the bartender said, “We don’t keep any urine in stock, but I can go to the washroom and get you some.”
“Okay,” said the light-bulb diaper.
And the burned-down house said, “I’ll have a large glass of water, please.  I want to make sure that the fire is out.”
“And you?” said the bartender to the pyjamas.
“I can’t order anything,” said the pyjamas.
“Why not?” asked the bartender.
“Because,” said the pyjamas, “pyjamas can’t talk.”
“How about I bring you nothing?” asked the bartender.
“That will be fine,” said the pyjamas.

The bartender left and then returned a short time later.  He brought THE END to the silliness and absurdity, and all lived happily ever after.  But occasionally they would wonder, “When will the fish shops open?”
