A monster-slaying governess, a vampire librarian, and a professorial zombie walk into a bar, which is funny because zombies normally have great eyesight. (Lumpy Dog 11:21am)

And our two finalists are Clair and Heidi Britz
Clair's entry:
A monster-slaying governess, a vampire librarian, and a professorial zombie walk into a bar.
They select a table next to the juke box. It’s playing Monster Mash.
“I hate this song.”
Zombie hits the table with his fist and a finger falls off. Vampire leans in to get a better look.
“Want me to fix it?”
“Forget it.”
He tosses it into the bowl of nuts.
“Another student asked me why zombies weren’t in Twilight today.”
“Not again.”
“I should just kill myself.”
“You’re all ready dead.”
“Rub it in why don’t you.”
Governess hands him a brochure. “Will you accept our help and go to treatment today?”
“No.”
“You could write a memoir.”
“Really?”
Heidi Britz's entry:
A monster-slaying governess, a vampire librarian, and a professorial zombie walk into a bar to commiserate after a long work week.
The vampire librarian grumbles,
“Thirteen teenage girls asked me if I sparkle. I whispered very loudly that if I am asked that again, I will gladly beat them to death with a thesaurus!”
The zombie nods in agreement and offers, “You think that’s bad? My boss fired me for losing two arms in one week on the job, something about conserving inventory and replacement costs. Damn economy.”
The governess smiled smugly, “I found out my lover’s ex wife is a crazy werewolf …AND the kids got the stomach flu.”
She won.
And the winner, selected by Sherri Browning Erwin (the monster slaying governess); Molly Harper (vampire librarian); and Robin Becker (professional zombie) is:
Heidi Britz!
