Puns of the weak

One of my many failings is my love of wordplay. The bigger the groans elicited, the more joy it brings me. Here are a few good ones I have heard in the past few days:

Did you hear about the Australian amnesiac? He forgot how to use his boomerang but when he threw it a few times it soon came back to him.

How do you turn a platypus into an R&B singer? Heat it in the microwave till its bill withers.

How many seconds are there in a year? Twelve: January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd,…

One from the New Testament: How did the Apostles go to the Temple? In a Honda. (Acts 2:46 “And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple.”)

And one original, real life pun: Asked by a friend of mine when I was visiting him in Mumbai, a few weeks after I had been in Pune : “So, how did you find Pune?” “I got off the aeroplane…and there it was! I didn’t even have to look for it.”

I hope "Puns of the Weak" is a regular post. This was good! DO you really consider Bill Withers in the R&B genre? My favorite Bill Withers song: Lovely Day

I admit. I like puns. I usually will respond to comments my parents make by repeating a pun. But since that can get old, I intentionally mix them up.

I see said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and spit.

I see said the blind man. It all comes back to me now.

The groans have been replaced with odd stares. :o)
