As you might have noticed or experienced yourself, BABBers seem to have an irresistible drive to use puns in their messages. Weak or good puns doesn't matter, as long as they can sneak one in. Therefore, i decided to start the Irresistible Pun Thread.

This thread gives you a platform to post your puns, woithout having to make up a "serious" post around them just to get them on the board :D.

I suggest you just put the pun in a short story or as a riddle (you don't even have to give the answer immediately yourself; could be a good game!). If you spotted a pun worth noting in another thread, you can link here.

Inspirated by the word association thread, I'll start:

New Meccano® lets you create nature's most spectacular creatures! there is a Meccano® Boa Constructor® for $12 already! Out now!

(just to make it clear: it don't HAVE to be weak puns :roll: )

Estonia when you're tryin' to be so good,
Estonia just like you knew they would.
Estonia when you're drivin' in your car,
Estonia when you're playin' your guitar.
Oh, but I would not feel so all alone,

I happen to like puns and other general wordplay. Maybe that is why I built my summer cabin at Puntzi Lake.

My favorite though is Spoonerisms, named after Reverend Spooner. He was famous for transposing the first syllable of a pair of words inadvertantly. Probably his most famous spoonerism was when he was toasting the Queen of England at a university. He said " Three cheers for our queer old dean...", an embarassing tip of the slung.

I thought his most famous spoonerism was:

"Marden me padam, but you are occupewing the wrong pi. May I so you to a new sheet?"

Growing up in my family the "Marden me Padam." phrase was so ubiquitus that we literally never said pardon me or excuse me. It was always marden me padam.

Around Christmas time, I sometimes ask friends or coworkers (who haven't already heard this) what one supercell thunderstorm said to the other.

"Be of good shear."

Okay, I guess that one's a bit unstable.

Show me the Monet.

In the spirit of such...

A priceless work of art was on display at a museum. A thief, upon hearing this news, immeadiatly began planning to steal it. He was very meticulous about his planning - finding museum blueprints, buying equipment at various locations so it couldn't be tracked, etc. Finally, he sets his plan into operation, and it goes off without a hitch. However, as he is driving away, a police car spots him and gives chase. As he is continuing down the road, he realizes a fatal flaw - his tank is empty. He manages to lose the police and pulls into a gas station to pick up some gas. However, by this time an APB has been sent out on his van. Several hours later, the police find him, still at the gas station. When asked what was taking him, he replied "I did not have the Monet to buy Degas to make the van Gogh."

A quoted play on words from a long lost thread titled "do you double space at the end of a sentence", older than this pun thread:

Do you double space at the end of a sentence
As far as I knew, scientist think that the universe is expanding quite slowly. So obviously, it can't be possible that everyone would be doubling space after each and every sentence. I mean, the universe would have gotten 8 times as big after this post alone. C'mon that's just plain impossible! Here goes 16! 32! Phew that one didn't have a verb so it isn't a full sentence. Dam this was one, thats 64! 128!



A result of this theory would be the fact that every sentence would take up the size of the universe until the start of that sentence (which is in fact the most precise guess of the universe's size I've ever heard, you can measure it to the millimeter!). Do not underestimate the power of the Written Word...

Hey

I saw a history show recently about the American west. It featured a native American family. In the tepee were three women with their children. One sat on a deerskin with her new baby. The baby weighed 5 pounds. She was very proud of him. The second mother sat on a bear skin with her baby. He weighed 6 pounds, and she loved him dearly ( I shoulda said deerly, but I want to avoid nesting my puns). But the third woman sat on a very large tough skin from a large river animal, and she had a very big baby, it weighed 11 pounds.

Apparently, the sons of the squaws on the two hides equalled the son of the squaw on the hippopotamus.

Nicolas
05-June-2007, 09:29 AM
The anti-skating is on the other side of the tonearm. Dust bunnies are stopped by the damper brush on the front of the cartridge. It's a tonearm with very pronounced opinions: it comes with a pro-tractor and anti-skating. No middle of the road for that one, it only cares about the groove. Very uplifting as well, at least when you turn the lever.

It's a nice thing. But I'll skip the rest of the explanation. Suffice to say I ejected the CD player into the jitter box [correction bits] litter box. It was so negative, it only cared about anti-aliasing.

See you laser!

I'm sorry, I'd never heard of that SME so I couldn't make a pun with that one (actually it was a serious question but anyway :)) as I was raised up with the good advice not to make funs of things that I didn't know about. When I was very young, about 4 years old, my mother told me not to laugh at things I'd never heard of. She said that would make me look ignorant. I found "ignorant" a very funny word.

But you're right that refering to a mining company goes far deeper than refering a tonearm, which remains very superficial. Very good you went to the bottom of this. In contrary, I merely scratched the surface of this SME thing.

SMEaton

Tell him to stay focused. It's easy to get caught up in the daily grind, he needs to keep a close eye on her or this problem will be magnified. Remember, kids have a glare filter for dealing with parents, so don't try to give her the old fish-eye.
