Title: PUNS and Spoonerisms
Post by: Burl on October 30, 2007, 02:06:13 PM
A pun is of course also known as a play on words .  They most often deal with cliche' , however they can also delve into other areas of languge such as anachronymn.  Examples of such will be cheerfully provided upon request .  Spoonerisms are where beginning letters or consonant sounds are traded within a phrase or name .  Our highly esteemed and much learned colleague "Dane Bramage" is obviously aware of this form of humor .
Lets begin with a pun about a sign .  It is a sign on the door of the Orthodontists office .  Not just any any orthodontist mind you .  This is a self-service orthodontist .  Do you know what the sign says ?


                                 BRACE YOURSELF !

True story department:
I told that one too my wife years ago, only then it was a pollock instead of an idiot.  Her responce--I don't want to wait until tommorrow, I want to know now.  I can still shift her mind into neutral by telling her something is like a pollock joke.

Brian  , You are so right about that !   I frequently work with children with FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME , and I am a coffin maker .  I will spare you the sad ,and gorey details of that .  Suffice it to say old Burl loses his sense of humor when it comes to the selfish behavior of folks who promote this philosophy that things are better and more enjoyable when they have imbibed in their chosen mind altering substance .. OH , the needless sufferring the innocent would be spared if they would rather prefer laffey-taffy over goofy juice .  There is wa-aaay too much preventable pain caused by substance abuse .  I started this thread to share some laughs with others who enjoy this form of humor .  It has been good .  Let's keep it going , please , it is like a healing salve to a very sore spot in my old heart .  Thankyou !

Scadsobees ,  A misunderstood sense of humor , yes I can sure relate to that .  Apology accepted .  Friends we are I hope .   I was however shocked to hear your corn puns .  I had no idea someone could be so silky smooth and yet as rough as a cob at the same time .  All in all there was more than a kernal of truth to them .  And your coffin puns must have been a grave undertaking for you .  Just try not to get in over your head with them .
When we were just little boys my brother and I would often get alphabet soup for lunch .  We would take off running with our bowls and spoons in hand, and eat the soup while we tore around the house .  Mom would always shout to us ---

  "It's only fun till someone loses an "I" !!!      Have a souper day !
