Time to inject some humor into our otherwise mundane lives!
What say we list some of our favorite "puns" for a change? Here are a couple that come to mind for openers.
YES, and then there was the frog who walked into the bank and asked for a $45,000.00 loan from the V.P of the loan department, one Ms. Patricia Whack. She asked for collateral and he gave her an ivory elephant. Somewhat taken back she excused herself and went to see the Bank manager telling him there was green frog out side who wanted a loan for $45,000.00 and only had this for collateral, asking what it was in the first place. The bank manager told her “It’s a knickknack Patty Whack, give the frog the loan, his old mans a rolling stone!”
Then there was the famed relief pitcher that played for the Milwaukee Brewers named Wil Famey. Will was an outstanding pitcher but he had one failing, that being drinking too much beer! One fine afternoon while the Brewers were in the lead Wil was in the Bull pen swilling his beer as usual when the manager called for him to com in. Wil moseyed to the mound and proceeded to walk eight straight batters thus loosing the game. As the opposing team passed the bull pen there were numerous empty beer cans on the ground, and one player said to the other as they passed, "look, that's the beer that made Wil Famey walk us!"
Your turn!

Keep your day job Tom at least for a little while longer
10:18 PM Blogger: Tim, your life of travail and turmoil in the work place have left you devoid of the sense of the unusual that it takes to really appreciate a "pun!"
My goodness man, these are classics to be enjoyed as you would enjoy Pavarotti, Shakespeare, or Emily Dickinson!
I will give you one more to help you fully understand the flow and the form.
"The world chess tournament always held in December at Reykjavik, Iceland was canceled a few years ago as the hotel managers became sick and tired of "chess nuts" boasting by an open foyer!"
You see, grace, flow, and a measure of the absurd all come together in a pun as they should.

Ouch!
