what did you do at work today?

like most of you know, i'm a comedy writer for a tv show. and most days we just sit and pitch jokes and story ideas in a conference room. however yesterays re-write was hilarious. we were trying to come up with a line for one of our characters who is trying to make a play on words using the word boob in a movie title (circa 1979). so for literally 15 mins, my job and the job of the other writers was to sit and shout out names of movies with the word boob in them. f or example some of the pitches were as follows: kramer vs. boob, rocky boob, cannon ball boob, invastion of the boobie snatchers, boob over river quai, you get the drift. at the end of this run, one of the writers pretended to be his wife when he got home and asked"what did u do at work today?" because literally it's the weirdest job. P.S. "invasion of the boobie snatchers" won out and made it in the script!
