Well thank you for your kind words only sometimes its elegant lol
Quite some refreshing words you've come up with. You must add this to movie scene, any script writing, if you working on. Would be a great turn to "Knock! Knock!"

thank you pb
Although there's no direct line of descent, it's possible that the birth of "Knock Knock" jokes in the dim recesses of our century owes more than a little to the famous "porter scene" in Macbeth. The clownish porter tends the gate at Macbeth's castle, where that notable thane has just successfully murdered the king of Scotland. In the previous scene, in which Macbeth and his wife complete the deed, the knocking sounds that eventually rouse the porter scare the conspiratorial couple out of their wits: knocking is the sound that crystallizes their guilt. The porter's joking reference to "Hell Gate" has, then, some resonance: Macbeth's castle is and will remain the diabolical duo's headquarters, and the scene of numerous hideous crimes. The joke also refers obliquely to an earlier dramatic form in which Hell Gate was an actual prop, and in which the drama of temptation, sin, salvation, and damnation was materialised to edify the common people, Macbeth supplies the tradition with psychological depth. So … what’s all this to do with your short sweet write – well - you could have knocked on the wrong door! Loved the piece really …
