“How did you think the situation was going to work out before it happened?
And then how did it really work out?”
those are great questions not only for story-telling but also for any joke, from the audience's perspective. good to think about, however long or short the form is!
Here’s a great story about Ira Glass and his violent pit bull. Unintentionally hilarious allegory about the NPR leftist mindset. TLDR: it constantly bit everyone including him, his wife, and children. They gave it prozac and exotic meats to "cure" it and it still had to be muzzled all the time. They stopped having guests over. He still claims the dog is the victim.
