Really Terrible Puns Vol 1

Re: Really Terrible Puns Vol 1

A tourist in 19th century Vienna went to visit Beethoven's tomb, and he heard a faint scratching noise. He looked inside, and there was Beethoven's ghost, busily erasing musical notes from a score.

"Wh- Wh- Wh- What are you doing?" the nervous tourist asked.

Ludwig's ghost replied, "Decomposing."

My friend's wife, who is from England, had a terrible row with her son, but she shrugged it off as just another bad heir day.




Unrelated true story. I had an aunt from England who asked for our help in finding her husband's "car keys." we looked everywhere until we realized that she really wanted us to find his "khakis", which we then found pretty quickly.

Okay, not a pun, but my favorite mathematician joke:

Did you hear about the constipated mathematician? He worked the problem out with a pencil.

:D

Not sure how much truth there is to this....

I heard a rumor that Mia Hamm and Nomar Garciaparra are expecting a child. Their friends were wondering whether it might be a baseball player or a soccer player. Supposedly Mia was ecstatic that, three months prior to birth, she could already feel the baby kicking! :rolleyes:
 
Re: Really Terrible Puns Vol 1

I saw a very subtle visual pun on last Monday's episode of Bones.

Booth and Brennan are in the daycare center, and in the background there is a poster on the wall that has the letters "E L L A T I O" visible. There are papers thumbtacked to either side, so that this clearly is deliberate. Then, below, something like "f the mon" and below that a picture of stars.

I'm guessing the entire top line was C O N S T "E L L A T I O" N and the second line "of the month."

Pun? or subliminal message? ;)
 
Re: Really Terrible Puns Vol 1

Tried to make a subtle pun today, not quite sure it worked....

There was a discussion going on in one of the "issues" threads and one person kept interjecting nonsense. I told him I was getting impatient with his japery, which apparently caused unintended hilarity rather than sophisticated appreciation.....

Now, the standard defintion is something like "mocking, making fun of."

One of the definitions also referred to an old-fashioned meaning that was off-color sexually, though it did not provide details. If my memory serves me corectly from that Shakespeare class in college, it also meant the autoerotic sex act that is unfairly attributed to Onan, who in Genesis performed coitus interruptus when he "spilled his seed upon the ground", not onanism.

I guess an attempted pun is a real loser if it has to be explained...oh well.:o

You were probably the guy who noticed "SEX" in the clouds in the Lion King.

I missed that one, but if you still have that iconic Farrah Fawcett swimsuit poster anywhere I can show you how they airbrushed the curls of her hair under her chin to spell out S E X in the highlighting......you can't quite see it in this link unfortunately...






Full disclosure: I can't take "credit" for finding those letters there, there was a book published decades ago called Subliminal Seduction which described subliminal advertising techniques and that Farrah poster was one of the examples....

Somewhere near the Everblades Arena in Estero, FL, we spotted the following sign outside a fishing shop:

MASTER
Bait & Tackle

Love it.

Edit: Yikes. How could I have failed to also mention the famous beverage store in Beaver Creek, CO: Beaver Liquors

I recall taking a bus trip to San Francisco once, and across the street from the depot was a pharmacy named "Terminal Drugs."
