Hi there,
Now, this is my cup of tea! I have a book, 300 Riddles for 21st-Century Kids, that I've written and have been shopping around to publishers, and I've started on a separate riddle book for adults. I do realize that my jokes for your project cannot rely on puns or wordplay, since they'll be translated, but just to show you my ability, here is one of the children's riddles:
Q: What did the wireless router do to the neighbors' yards?
A: Modem!
...of course, "mowed 'em." And here's one from the adult book:
Q: Why was the pothead sad?
A: He'd just been all disjointed for several days.
...you get that one too: "dis-joint-ed."
At the end of this proposal, I'll give you the first joke I came up with for your project.
First, though, if you take me on, I'll be able to finish the work by Sunday, September 2 at 5 p.m. EDT. I would expect to be paid by the following Wednesday at the same time of day.
I'm really excited about this. I already wrote three of your jokes, just to see if I myself always had to rely on puns, and it turns out that I don't. For example, here's the freebie I promised you, in the "Rabbits" category:
Q: What did the rabbit hitchhiker say to the driver who had stopped?
A: "Mind if I hop in?"
In terms of interpersonal stuff, I'm easygoing in conversation, but strictly disciplined when it comes to getting my work done the right way and on time.
Hope to talk to you!
Gabe G.
