Waiter, what's this fly doing in my soup?
Using silliness as a diversion from nonsense. No that is not the punchline. One of my cartoon writing techniques is to play with a cliche or very old joke. I've been having fun with the fly in the soup joke.
Standard joke:
Waiter, what's this fly doing in my soup?
The backstroke.
Variations:
Waiter, what's this fly doing on my soup bowl?
He's the lifeguard.

That's stew not soup.
