We're Not Wordy
From Cracked, an extraordinarily important article:



Puns are the highest form of humor, though the joy of them comes not from an audience's response, but from the punster watching the audience's response. And we have to watch carefully, lest one of them yeet something harder than a rotten tomato at us.

But there are two things about puns that I don't like: 1) When someone steals one of mine, even inadvertently; and 2) when someone comes up with one that I really should have, but didn't.

Such is the case with the second one at the link. Because it's Cracked, it's a countdown list, so it's the one numbered 13.

13. My girlfriend is the square root of negative 100. She’s a perfect 10, but also imaginary

Our relationship is complex.


See? See? May the creator of that one be darned to the grayest middle parts of Heck.

Obviously, I'm not going to reproduce all of them here. But this one made me laugh:

6. I told my husband he was awful at directions

He got so mad that he packed his bags and right.


Now, I should come up with a really witty pun of my own to wrap up this entry. I should, but I'm coming up empty. My muse is on vacation. So none of us get to be a-mused.
