Girls on film

M'learned colleague (let's call him Blofeld) upstairs says

IF the Black Knight doesn't make a quip about this, it'll be a sad day!

I, of course, WOULD be the one to do it, but I'd like to keep my job

But why do these people keep insist on producing such good material .... can you imagine how frustrating it is to be given so many 'set ups' and 'cues' and NOT be able to deliver the punchline!!

He is referring to this email:

Is there a nice person in the department who would like to lend me a webcam for tommorow only? I have a webcam meeting scheduled for tommorow, but no webcam.

Thanks so much

Miss Ryder

I can't see the joke myself. Perhaps you can help Blofeld out by suggesting witty ripostes in the comments?

Comments

If she leaves it on for long enough, she'll be able to meet hot webcams.

"Dear Miss Ryder,

"Sorry, but there are no nice people in this department, we are all hot bittches and have a webcam show all day.

"Regards,

"Miss Latex Gloves"

About the Rat

Black Knight is interested in the interaction of science (as a day job and as a way of thinking) with his family, the wider community and literature. And tormenting students. Frequently polemical, sometimes serious, and hopefully always entertaining more
