These Are My JOTtings...

'Pun My Word!

Do you enjoy puns? Upon the successful telling of a pun, the responses can range from a wry smile to a rather loud groan.

In high school I had the well-earned reputation of being "the pungent punster." As the typical sophomore I used to consider myself quite successful to give the female of the senior trumpet trio the reflex of "arthritic hands," which was always joined by the rather great "ARRGHH!"

I would run away laughing. (The amusement is still at the front of my brain. Therefore, the sophomore in me must still live to some degree.)

1. Just remember I enjoy eating a banana and an apple every day. After all they're fruit with appeal.
2. I have always been a fan of the color, blue. Besides, there are many people in the world that like blue as well. I'd say it's a hues success!
3. My friend was all scheduled for a round of golf this morning at 9:00, but he walked off the first hole. Why? He got teed off.
4. Apparently, he is a brilliant violinist, who is a very quick study, but he always plays with his strings slightly sharp. After all, he learned to play in nothing flat.
5. Once I had a choir director with a goldfish that could sing with perfect pitch. However, one day during choir practice the director was sad indicating that his goldfish had a cold and was now singing with a very flat tone. He was sad because he didn't know how to tuna fish.

Do you have any wonderful puns that you would like to add,...subtract...or...multiply? Please, no divisive comments.
