It's named the "bible" for a reason - within the page, you can discover a plethora of pun-filled jests. From a note on a piano begging, "I'm old and I'm tired, please do not play me," to trying to locate Frank Ocean on a map.
So, if you're up for a good chuckle and a bit of wordplay, we invite you to dive into this article. Let's embark on this pun-derful journey together!

Puns can sometimes make us cringe, but other times, they hit the sweet spot of humor just perfectly. Plus, it might surprise you to know that puns are actually a subject of serious academic study.
if the teacher turns up and the class room is empty then does he just assume its full of students then
But what is a pun, you might ask. Well, a pun is a witty joke that cleverly uses words with similar spellings, sounds, or meanings to tickle the funny bone of its audience.
"The brain goes through some incredible gymnastics to capture the meaning of puns," John Pollack, the 1995 O. Henry Pun-Off World Champion, tells Weekend Edition Sunday's Liane Hanson. "And if you think about it, it's incredibly complex."

Load More Replies...He explains that puns are powerful for two reasons: they can be ambiguous, and they allow you to say more with fewer words. So, if you want to convey complex ideas, puns can be really handy.
Puns have been around for a very long time, even as far back as a text from the 7th century B.C. that mentioned floods. Sanskrit, an ancient language, has lots of puns, and it might be where the word "pun" comes from. In Sanskrit, a "pundit" is someone who explains ambiguity, and "pun" could have a similar origin, although people aren't sure about it.
Yeah I can totally feel the pain been there done that just be glad you didn't burn the everloving p!ss out of yourself poor dude
"Yes but what's its insect name?" "I don't know I don't speak insect."
One of my dogs used to eat these stinky little bastards when we lived it Italy, and then she'd try to lick your face.
That sounds unappealing. When picking berries we would avoid them when we saw them but once in a while you would pick a berry with one on it so they ended up in your hand and would 'defend' themselves and then your hand smelt nasy.
Load More Replies...Even though some may find it annoying when their dad cracks "bun" jokes while grilling burgers, trying to eliminate puns is a tough task. According to Pollack in "The Pun Also Rises," not making puns at all would be harder than we think.
I have no time for anyone who gets a ticket speeding. It's entirely your own fault. I have had 2 and deserved them both.
You'd have time for those people if you'd speed more, because it would save you more time :) Sorry, lame joke :) I do agree with you by the way, apart from a few cases where the speed limit sign is very easy to miss (like a tree branch growing in front of it), people chose to speed, so they chose to get the speeding tickets.

I love that episode from The Mandalorian where the troopers tried to shoot that droid but missed by a mile
Stormtroopers do not have bad aim. They were instructed to miss so that they could track the falcon back to the rebel base.
Um... you are talking about one scene from a whole franchise. The storm troopers with guns missed Hans and Luke and gang about a bazillion times. Running round the death star, on the rebel base, etc. Sometimes the equivalent of a red shirt died but at the main cast they 'pew pew pewed' all day and kept missing.
Load More Replies...I just rewatched the original version of episode IV. Had totally forgotten Obi Wan tells Luke that the attack on the sand people was fake because only imperial troopers had such accuracy!!! I'm still cackling days later.
Plus points for fun, minus points for timing. I'm sure the parent had other calls sitting there bored and NOT presenting that they would be happy to have interrupted for surprise silliness
Omg, I did this to my dad but the water was running down the stairs!
Shakespeare loved to play with words in his plays. He used puns to make people laugh, reveal important themes, and create a connection with the audience.
"Shakespeare's plays are a language playground," David Mcinnis, Associate Professor at The University of Melbourne, notes.
Take, for instance, the title "Much Ado About Nothing." It's not as simple as it seems; it's actually a triple pun.
Never bring a cheeseburger to a Philly cheesesteak fight. Alternately: size and shape of wound is consistent with a Dave's Double with extra pickles
Reminds me of the time some woman was shouting in front of a store and harassing people until someone called the police and she kept shouting towards the policemen, who tried to reason with her, but she kept shouting at people so one of the policemen went to the store and bought her some snacks which pacified her and she went with the policemen without further arguing.
I think Burger King is involved and onscreen over the lady's shoulder. Maybe he was the victim. Regicide!
You're right. Dragons are the GOAT of mythological creatures.

That’s the pic that caught my attention, too :-)
Load More Replies..."It can mean 'nothing' like in the show 'Seinfeld,' where not much happens," explains Dr. McInnis. "But if you say it with an old-fashioned accent, it sounds like 'noting,' which hints at the importance of observation in the play."
He adds, "And there's a cheeky meaning, 'naughting,' suggesting sexual themes. So, the title is a clever blend of a play about sex, observation, and a light-hearted romp about not much in particular."
In essence, it's all in the title – seemingly simple, yet holding a deeper meaning.
I'm Polish and it's not a great translation :). First of all, it's very direct and it's not popular to be so direct in Polish, especially he used "sir" just few words before. Also two words are joined together and the word "trzymamy" (keep) is not the best one. Used like that would better suit to animals, but with cars it's weird. So it should be something like "Sorry Sir, jak pan myśli, w jaki sposób utrzymujemy samochody tak błyszczące?".
Hmm.. polish and Polish are pronounced differently. Poll-ish is what makes things shine and Poe-lish is a language or a nationality. So this doesn’t work for me because I’m a pedantic fool.
My fellow being, poll is pronounced poe'll
Load More Replies...Finally figured out the joke.......after trying to pronounce that crazy stuff!
A couple of weeks ago I was at a hotel and I was given room 404. I kept thinking about this my entire stay :)
nah not if it has a good pilot and is over landable terrain. It is a common misperception to assume that a plane will fall like a rock when the engine quits. The do not, infact there are planes that are designed to fly completely without an engine.
Load More Replies...that's horrible. Which is entirely fitting for this article.
Load More Replies...Pilot: "We're running out of gas!" Co-Pilot: "OMG! How far will we make it?" Pilot: "All the way to the crash site...."
Fun fact when my dad was a skydiving instructor one of his best friends owned a Cesena and they flew together quite a bit. They were doing a dive with his pilot buddy flying and after everyone jumped my dad was last, he went up to the pilot and said, "see you on the ground" took the keys from the ignition and jumped out. To the guys credit he was a pilot in Vietnam and landed the plane without power, easily. He said he wished he could hear his buddy cursing all the way down. All was good, my dad covered his drinks the rest of the night.
Been there, done that. Mid winter, and I was sweating. But I didn't bend the airplane.
If you walk away from it, that was a landing, not a crash
Load More Replies...A pilot once told me that if a plane runs out of gas mid-air, the propeller keeps spinning. He knew from experience. Landed on a highway and the local airport had to send a truck, the police had to block off the road, and he got in a LOT of trouble.
Well, it will indeed be windmilling, though many propeller planes have an option to feather the propeller (change the angle of the blades to reduce drag). It will still probably be windmilling, but feathering the engine is standard operation in case of an engine failure - be it fuel exhaustion or any other reason.
Load More Replies...Shakespeare also understood that puns weren't always meant to be funny. Wordplay could sometimes "reveal darker truths," according to Dr. McInnis.
He continues, "Deeper messages can be hidden within wordplay, often overlooked because a character is narrowly focused."
Cop said I must have smoked pot because my eyes were so bloodshot, I told him he must've been eating donuts because his eyes were glazed. He was not amused.
By the look of the hole in his shirt the officer shot first asked questions after..🤔
At least it's more evolved than 'Hi Hungry, I'm Dad!" Still need to pry my eyeballs off the back of my skull that they just rolled to, though.

As an English language learner, the use of "see" is so confusing. "Let me see that candy bar" = they take a bite. When I was sick and the nurse asked me if I wanted to see the doctor, I said: "No, I don't care what he looks like, just get me an appointment with him as soon as possible." I thought she thought I was racist or something and wanted to know what the doctor looked like before I picked him as my PCP. I was a bit offended, to be honest.
They quacked the case. There was fowl-play when they didn't pay their big bill.
That was pretty ducking good..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I never understood the obsessoon with dryers, though. I once had one, but gave it away because I nearly never used it. I find it much more comfortable to hang my laundry to dry. Dryers are not that common here in Germany, and, at least in private homes, mostly used for things like huge pieces of bedware. But on the other hand: no HOAs here that prohibit the use of clotheslines, so that might be a factor.
Maybe because it is 90% less work and can be done at any time? Also, apartments exist?
Load More Replies...Should have mentioned 'wind-powered', too, Could have charged more, then, ;-)
I Spent $50 on a "Penis Enlarger." They sent me a magnifying glass and instructions that said "Do not use in direct sunlight." Sonsofbitches!
In the 1970s there was an advertisement in the newspaper that said: 'Buy now a beautiful souvenir of Queen Juliana (then the Queen of the Netherlands). Real copper, with a good-looking portrait engraved on it.' The advertiser sold hundreds of them, for ten guilders (about $11) each. What did people receive at home? A nickel with a hole drilled with a string through it.
It's even better than that as it is also windpowered at the same time.
Sure, that might be an unethical way to market clotheslines, but they are also solar-powered dryers!
I remember some smart businessmen selling »36 pieces single household starter kits« but this was just a box of matches, though...👌🤭
Either a) you don't have to pay for it. because the sugar is free; b) they are rebellious and trying to free the sugar from being abused; or c) someone needs to be fired for being a wise a-s-s.
Or you live in the US and the suggested serving size is below 0,5 gram. If so, sugar can be marketed as sugar free, as an ingredient below half gram per serving does not have to be declared. . Seems a bit over the top on a bag of sugar, but it is what they have been doing for years with Tictacs (see https://www.simplemost.com/sneaky-reason-tic-tacs-can-say-sugar-free-really-arent/).

You'd need a different transmission to translate more power to higher speed. In case of a horse that would mean longer legs, I guess - stilts maybe?
There's a billboard on the way to parents' house that hasn't been changed in decades. Used to say something about donating blood, but because of time and the elements, now it just says BLOOD in huge red letters.

English uses 'Cargo' from the Spanish word.... erm... 'Cargo'. Which means 'load' or 'burden'. Spanish got it from the Latin 'Cargar', meaning 'to load'. Shipment is ship+ment. 'Ship' evolved over time from 'Skipa', to 'Skip', then on to 'Scip', before 'Schip' then 'Ship'. Basically means 'move'. 'Ment' is a suffix making verbs a noun and making an action out of the verb.
