You're pissed off. The job interview was flawless, you nailed it, yet you were passed over for someone less qualified who fit the look better. At the bus stop, you plop down and watch the city, and you're about to snap. A homeless guy next to you feels your mood, and tells you the funniest joke you've ever heard. What are your angry observations on the city, your thoughts, and what is the joke to enhance or brighten them? Winner is decided by likes, and will receive a crisp $10.00 -Give us the goods.

You're on the first leg of your set, and you're bombing. You know it, they know it, the club owner knows it. Up to now, you've had some heat as a rising comedian on the verge of your own Netflix show, and a rumored role in an upcoming feature film about to tie down their contracts. Your new material is so far off from your regular bits, and the audience is confused and still unsure if you're messing with them, or have lost your edge to the moneyed life. You have that one heater in your back pocket, the best of the worst jokes you've written, beyond bad taste, but so shockingly so, it will neutralize the crowd and bring them back for the shift into your signature style. Write about the panic on the stage, the crowd, the deicision to either ride out the dull wave before you, or shake it up with the joke. Bring the funny. Winner is decided by likes, and will receive a crisp $10.00 -Go big, or go on home.

You rear-end a car in front of you. When you both get out of your cars to exchange insurance information, the other Guy is none other than God Almighty. How would the conversation go, specifically including convincing Him He was in the wrong.

Found this prompt on Pinterest. Get more details and inspiration from the link. https://pin.it/11hcgxK EEEssentially, our main character is a down on his/her/their luck graduate student who takes the chance for extra credit from the Graduate Committee--(not-so lowkey three of the biggest supervillains in the city).

write a piece that sums up your humor as well as possible, but let's push it to the edge of PC (politically correct) as much as possible. 5 smackers to the funniest piece

"And it sucks. Especially in binds like this. When superpowers appeared, devastation was a given. In an urban sprawl--- they had coverage for that. But the person to save their life, only the feared, ruthless villain who not ten minutes ago had had a Hero's throat in their hands intent on crushing it..." A villain and a civilian cocooned in rubble together. How? Why? Whaaaaa?

I spend most of my time writing medical reports. Even as a writer at heart these get old. Every now and then it can be spiced up by quoting words of a patient or painting a picture of the bizarre situation that led to 911 in the first place. (Always maintaining professionalism of course) Whether you have a medical background or not give me your best attempt at a medical report about a teenager experimenting with LSD, found eating a dead racoon face first in the middle of the street at 03:00 on a hot summer night. (Yes, this really happened) Take it away!

So, maybe I got carried away describing the prompt. I probably came off as super try-hard that's okay. There are superpowers, superheroes, and of course there have to be the few who ruin that for everyone. Villains. Though villains aren't known for falling in love with civilians. And yet here's your protagonist/"antagonist."

I don't care what's going on, I just want it to end with one or more people juggling spaghetti.

I know this flies in the face of everything Theprose is all about, but what fun! Ask ChatGPT to write something serious about the most ridiculous thing you can think of. I did it with my "Toilet for Two" TV ad.

Being single can suck sometimes, but it doesn't have to be that way. Write a funny poem or story about being single on Valentine's Day.
