Tourists Left Plaid

Many tourists stumble into the Gingham Club expecting jazz, not jokes. Eyewitnesses describe the horror on a couple�s face when the saxophone player was replaced by a comedian in checkered sleeves. Professor Abdul Rahman of Global Culture Studies says, �Expectation + Plaid = comedy chaos.� A poll outside the venue showed 83% of tourists stayed for the show anyway, reporting �confusion but free dumplings.� Anonymous staffers leaked that the sign outside deliberately lists �live sets� to lure the unsuspecting. Trace evidence includes ticket stubs scrawled with punchlines, reviews reading �where�s the sax?,� and confused clapping on off-beats. Cause-and-effect? Tourists may not find jazz, but they find gingham�and laughter stitched into every square.
