Thank you my friend.

My problem is about spoof.

Besides, EC forum is more than enough for me.

A spoof is a hoax; a trick; a lampoon; a prank or parody; a humorous composition that imitates or misrepresents somebody's style.

A joke is something said or done to make somebody laugh; a remark that’s clever and funny or amusing; a person or something laughed at.

2. The show is a spoof of life in a big city hospital.

3. There’s proof that we landed on the Moon in 1966 is a spoof.

Dear Buddhaheart,

Thank you for the examples.

How about some stories in a spoof style consisting of more than ten sentences.

Could you send me them please?

Thanks in advance.
