Also Whats Even The Answer - Tumblr Posts

Four people are working together to fix a small table. While the two more savvy ones are fitting pieces together, people A and B are off to the side.

A looks at B, holding up a small L-shaped bit of metal,

“Is it called an Allen Wrench or an Allen Key?”

After a moment of thought, B takes the tool with a smile,

“Al-envestigate!”

Then they turn to the other two, who are currently struggling to attach pieces. B waves for their attention, then holds out the tool,

“Here! I don’t mean to throw a wrench in your plans— key-p going!”

They both laugh. Unsatisfied, A jumps in,

“I don’t get it. What’s the joke?”

The answers are simultaneous:

“Get it? Wrench?”

“Get it? Key?”

The two (C and D respectively) pause and look at one another in confusion.

“Key?” “Wrench?”

“This is thoroughly unhelpful!”

A buries their face in their hands and groans in frustration. B pats their shoulder.

“Don’t worry. Allend this. Guys, which is it, Wrench or Key?”

“Well it doesn’t look like a key!”

“Well it doesn’t look like a wrench!”

A stands, knocks over the table in frustration, and leaves the room with a final shout,

“I can’t stand you people!”

C and D shrug.

“Well, sure looks like they can stand.”

“I don’t under-stand the problem.”

B laughs with them,

“Eh, they were always a little uns-table.”
