How many jokes per page do you get on that thing?

Stumbled onto this on Craigslist and it just struck me a bit funny: "PS this screenplay is like a contemporary spin-off of Cheech & Chong, but funnier, with 1-3 jokes per page!"

Nevermind that we've already had at least two contemporary Cheech and Chong movies and just consider that selling point. I didn't realize people had joke per page counts, though I guess I should have.

Man, some of those LA Craigslist listings are so pathetic and sad. Sometimes they really break my heart.

My cold, black heart.

You've been spared the indignity of most sitcom classes, then. They fucking LOVE page counts.

Oh, I remember Moriarty being a stickler for the 2-joke/page rule. And for some reason, sight gags never counted as jokes.

It always had to be those lame-o sitcom, "premise, setup, punch" jokes.
