Rooms with baths in them and that innit

Ahoy there, fellow Punsters!

A fruitful conversation at lunch today allowed many of us to dine out on some good Puns. One critter was espousing the virtues of sleeping and living in a bathroom alone. Another cheeky soldier commented that it'd be a bit awkward bringing a girl home, making it more difficult to "tap that". He then followed this up with further brilliance: "I mean, you don't wanna faucet..."

Hehehe. Chuckle chuckle.

Why does this post give me a sinking feeling...

Ta ra! x

You're asking me where my Puns grow, eye don't know, eyyyyeeeeee don't know....dun dun dun dun dun...

OKAY. PUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSS.

Recently a friend posted on Facebook (the ultimate transglobal Punning network) that she had just removed a cat's eyeball.

As you do.

Various quizzical responses followed, until one wise-ass stated: "You removed a cat's eyeball? Whilst doing so, I hope you said "socket to me"..."

Hehehe. Chuckle chuckle.

Living the dream, living the dream.

Now it's your turn...

Ahoy worthy Punfolk!

Now it's time to hear your contributions. This is where I offer up two seemingly random and unrelated items to be sacrificed to the Pun Gods (or Wordplayities, if you will).

Some guy walks into a bank wearing sunglasses.

My contribution: Seems like a shady character...

NOW PUN AWAY!!

First Punny entry

Ahoy there young Punners, and welcome to the Punder Years!

I see some of you are observant enough to have seen the irony that in a blog dedicated to Puns, there have been, thus far, none (apart from the hilarious blog title, of course). A deliberate ploy to encourage contributions that seems to have failed! Nevertheless, the first Pun has arrived.

During a recent Facebook "your-mum-off", two contributors were discussing the film Clash of the Titans. One was surprised when the Kraken monster appeared, and said: "Didn't expect to see your mum in this film." The other responded with: "Interesting, the last time I saw YOUR mum she said something like 'fill my Kraken'..."

Hehehe. Chuckle chuckle.

FIRST PUN COMPLETE!!

And so it begins...

Puns.

They've always been there for me, the one constant in my life from an early age. Through dark tempests and 'cross sunny shores, they have been my guide. My truth, my light. They keep me safe in the wee hours, and dance with me on summer's evenings. Never have they abandoned me, nor I them. It is with this weight of history, this moment, this WONDER, that I embark on a new voyage in this crazy, crazy world... a journey of hope, a journey of joy, a journey of epic motherfuckin' wordplay.

Over the next lifetime, I intend to post the mostest epic-est of Puns (the capital letter signifies holiness), both those that I make myself (let's face it, the purest, most perfect Puns of all) and those of others. I invite submissions, which will be given full credit. Hopefully this will encourage people to write down their flashes of linguistic brilliance, even keep a journal of such witticisms at all times, as all Punning linguists should.

Join me on this spiritual quest, and maybe, together, we can find some answers.
