I would love to post this on writing prompt or writing tips, but that's just a dream I know shall never come true.

This here, is an idea, for which I can say,
I am restricted by the technology of my time.

We know that jokes have a build up, and a punchline.

Sometimes the build up is long, sometimes it is short. Yet, the punchline remains a punchline.

Why?!

I want a punchparagraph!
I want a punchline which is long and long!

You see, taking a poop for five minutes after a full meal building up to it is satisfying.

Spending fifty minutes locked in a bathroom shitting yourself because of the same meal not so much.

You can't have a punchline be longer than a single sentence because the punchline exists as singular moment. If you punch someone and just keep your fist held in their face, you're not still punching them.

However, you could set up multiple jokes and have their punchlines happen one after another, making a paragraph.
