The Doorstop Gag

Heard the crowd was asking for some real laughs tonight, so I figured it was time to test out a little physical comedy. Slipped inside from the yard and tracked down that coiled spring doorstop sticking out from the baseboard. Looked like a cartoon prop just waiting for an opening act. I adjusted my shades, took a dramatic stance, and gave the rubber bumper a solid kick with my flip-flop. Boiiing! The metal coil whipped back, buzzed like a bee, and bounced me straight onto the rug in a goofy backward roll. Landed flat on my back with my feet up, chuckling at the ceiling glow. Pretty solid punchline.
