10% Pun

Regarding Miss Suri Cruise:

"I see the baby is wearing a fuzzy hat. Is that Suri, with the fringe on top?"

I'll bet they tried at least 10 puns to get a groan.

But, alas, no pun in ten did.

Pun o' the Day

Regarding sailboats: Schooner or later, someone would pun. But it's no hardship. There are a whole raft of problems: let's stem this tide with a stern warning.

Did you hear about the hot-headed composer who ventured West in a Conestoga wagon?










He had a score to settle.

Greeks can't stay out late because they have a Corfu.


Happy New Year everybody! It's about time I got a post up for the new year.

Punny Prediction

Tonight's infomercial from Barack Obama: a Barry-uhhmmmm enema.

Son of Punster

Dave was getting a little conflict from Zeke and I called out from the kitchen, "Zeke! You're incorrigible."

Maddened, he yelled back, "Mom! I'm not in a porridge bowl."

No one ever told me that a good part of being a parent required keeping a straight face.

Optimist's Humor

Prior to tonight, this comic, Dimitri Martin, was unknown to me. I'd rate this PG-13.



Thanks to RH Hardin for 'pointing' it out to me.

[Overheard today in my kitchen]

Zeke: Do you know who stole all the tub toys?

Joey: No, Zekie, I don't.

Zeke: The robber duckie.

Me: [Laughing] Zeke! Where did you hear that one?

Zeke: Tigger.

Pun o' the Day

Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York. This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.

The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.

Mirthful Things

~I had Zeke read a Christmas card today. It mentioned the gifts of the wise men, which he rendered gold, frankincense and mirth.

~I have noticed that no matter how I move the computers around, my cleaning lady just will not touch them. She seemingly refuses to work her magic on them. I guess she just doesn't do Windows.

~Today at work, I printed out a document. On the cover sheet, it had 'date: 3/3/2008, time: 3:33:33 PM.' [I see the number eight is just a 3 looking in the mirror. ] I thought that was a shout out from the Big Guy to me. He catches my attention in the merest ways.

~This weekend, after years of yard blah-ness, a garden was planted in our yard. It is beautiful and extremely low maintenance. The fellow we hired to do the green thumb thing took a lot of pride in his work, evidenced by the dozen or so pals of his who came to see the work. Dave and I are nearly finished with our improvements on the cozy house. Is it time to move now? I told Dave that it's the most beautiful bouquet he's ever bought me.

His hair was light and his head was angular: he was fair and square.

Pirate Pun

A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel on his crotch. He goes up to the bar to order a drink. The bartender exclaims, "Do you realize you've got a steering wheel on your crotch?!" The pirate grimaces in answer and says, "Yarrr...it be drivin' me nuts!"

Stolen on the bloggy high seas from MetaFilter. [There are many, many more 'intellectual' jokes in that very long thread.] Enjoy the booty.

Puns Galore

Thanks to Pastor Jeff for his latest contribution to my ongoing pun collection. It's especially apt to send to a Catholic woman on a Friday during Lent:

Two guys were out fishing on a lake when one of them dropped his wallet over the side of the boat. The man was amazed to see a carp swim by and snatch it up. Soon, another carp came up and stole it away, then a third joined in.The man turns to his friend and says, "That's the first time I've ever seen carp-to-carp walleting."

And, if you have a strong stomach for bodily fluid talk and don't mind a PG-13 rating, go over to my friend Annie's place and see what we've been spewing.

Pun o' the Day

This original pun came from my 5 year old son tonight, while the girls were being tucked into bed:

Me: Annie, do you want your water? Are you thirsty?

Zeke [from across the room]: She's not thirsty...she's Wednesday!

Me: I'm so blogging that.

Pun o' the Day

A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings from the Louvre. After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings and made it safely to his van.

However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of gas. When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and the make such an obvious error, he replied, "Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the paintings...

I had no Monet

to buy Degas

to make the Van Gogh."

See if you have De Gaulle to post this on your blog.

A man walked into a chimney store and asked 'How much for this one?'. The salesman replied 'It's on the house.'
