Pun me! A challenge for your Friday workday.

[timepiececlock]

I love puns. Good puns, bad puns, any pun under the sun.

So come on, Livejournal afficiandos!

Give me a pun, and I'll love you tomoooooooorrrrrrow. Something you've been saving up, or something you heard somewhere, or something in another language even. But English is the language I'm most likely to understand, note.

Still the BEST PUN EVER,

[octopedingenue]

Inuyasha, referring to Sesshomaru: "ore no anikisama"

ore no aniki-sama: "my high and mighty elder brother" (such rarely used phrasing that it's exaggeratedly formal to the point of sarcasm)

ore no ani-kisama: "my motherfucking asshole bastard of an elder brother"


This pun is the reason I wanna learn Japanese someday.

I remember you writing aobut that one before!


Hmmm.... I recognize "aniki" and "kisama"... based on my limited fanfiction japanese; how does just changing the syllable pronunciation make that much of a difference? Where does "motherfucking" come in?

Puns!

One you may have heard:

Three blondes walk into a bar. You'd think the third one would've seen it.

(<--- is blonde herself)

And one you may not:

What happened to the string quartet that couldn't sell enough tickets?

They went baroque.

(Another, because I just heard it.)

This guy's climbing a moutain, and stops for a moment. All of a sudden three swashbuckling-looking-people swing down and rob him at swordpoint. The guy, understandably, is confused. "Who the hell are you?"

"Arr, we be the Pirates of the Caribiner!"

Okay, last one, I promise.

You may have heard about the guy that cut off his left side in a chainsaw accident? Well, he's all right now.

THAT'S TERRIBLE. I LOVE IT!

(grins) No prob.

A good source, by the way, is the Prairie Home Companion's joke page - I don't know if you're familiar with PHC, but it's got that kind of a sense of humor.

AHAHAHAA.

Having grown up with sailors and thus being quite familiar with caribiners, this is my kind of pun.

Re: Puns!

I have heard the bar one, in the form of a Harry Potter house joke.

I love the second one. I truly do. It's so simple but perfect. Baroque. Hah.

SECOND Best Pun Ever!

I think I remember octopedingenue groaning when I told her about this one.

I'm late to the party, and not sure if it even counts as a pun, but... I once asked my dad what time it was. He checked his watch and told me, "Four twenty-two." I said, "How fortuitous."

I've never seen him look so proud of me. :D
