Grins for the Day – for you AdventureMan!
I was always taught that puns were the lowest form of humor – and then I married AdventureMan. He is BAD. You will love these, AdventureMan!

In my family this is known as Williams humor and my dad was a master at it. Those who have married into the family don’t always get it but they do recognize it. The grandchildren are recognized as having the Williams gene or not based on their ability to recognize and appreciate this kind of humor. That being said, some of these are new to me and I am going to lift them and send them to the true Williams’s in my family. Thanks for my morning laugh!
Smart! my favorites are 12, 7, 16, 23, 11 LOL number 13 is kind of like the ketchup joke
No.10 is attributed to Groucho Marx
LLOOLL, Momcat, glad I could contribute to your family culture. No wonder we get along.
My favorite, and the reason I printed these, was #8. Mangled English cracks me up.
Mohammed, #13 is one of the earliest jokes we tell our children, along with the ketchup joke!
Mentabolism – no kidding? He was a very clever humorist.
Why were puns considered the lowest form of humor! They’re fun! Hell we have a whole poetic form in the Gulf that revolves around using the same word in different meanings. Ok totally off topic but I have to tell you this. There’s this song where a guy is in love with a Christian girl, and the name of the song is something like “Dark Girl from The People of Jesus”. Anyway, in the song the man in love asks what hurts most, the chiming of the church bells or the pain of departure and longing. Now what I absolutely love about this song is that part because the words used for chiming church bells and pain of longing sound exactly the same but actually they’re different and it can be hard to understand. But when you do you’re like AHHH brilliant! Hehehe 🙂
I’m still Kuwaiting for change here.
You know, 1001 Nights, you are right – it takes a lot of cleverness and a way of looking at two different things and seeing a different relationship, doesn’t it? And you example is totally ON topic – it has to do with a double entendre in the words used. I can always count on you for a well stated alternate opinion and additional information. (My husband’s puns, however, are really, really BAD)
Amer? Or is that my husband, messing with my mind? 😉
