Actually, the reverse for me.

The reverse of what? Which pun theory?

Real life goes into fivers, as far as I'm concerned.
For the record, I've actually written six. Two were of one story, four of another, and one was actually published.

Oh. Well, I can't speak to that point. Most of the comic material that I forge into fiver punchlines come from other fivers/episodes/websites/etc. Only a few times have I written a joke with the sole purpose of amusing myself. Case in point: the "2305 bloodwine stinks, 2293 bloodwine is great" joke. I use it as often as I can reasonably pull it off. Does it amuse others? Perhaps. Does it amuse me? Every single time. So I do it.

I wish I could remember fivers that well. Unfortunately, I do not.

There's a simple answer for that. Take a few days off and reread the archives a few times. Ha ha!

I'd like to reference my current sig as a punchline that I'd LOVE to use in real life if it ever became possible, which it won't. I'll repeat it so that in the future when I change my sig the readers won't get confused:
Have you ANY IDEA what a scone-deprived Englishman is capable of doing?

I was tutoring this girl on Macbeth last week, and I told her about my punchline from Dagger of the Mind in the scene where Spock mindmelds with the crazy guy: "Lots of sound and fury, but nothing of significance." She looked at me funny.

And you're not used to it by now? I mean, I stopped noticing it years ago.

I suppose a fun subcategory for this thread would be Shakespeare punchlines you wish you could use in real life.
"I wish my horse had the speed of your tongue."

"I play the villain."
"If I had my will, I would bite. If I had my liberty, I would do my liking. In the meantime, let me be as I am, and do not seek to alter me!"
