I love puns. I really do. Even when loved ones distance themselves from me, coworkers wish they didn’t work with me and supermodels reconsider their need to sleep with me… I just can’t help myself.
I think I’ve heard most decent pun jokes out there. I’ve scoured internet forums, wrestled with google and poured over yellowed joke books.
So a gagillion points for anyone who can make me smile with a pun that hasn’t yet graced my ears.
I have what my friends and family will attest is an unholy fondness for puns, but I can’t produce them on demand – so I’ll move this to MPSIMS without comment.
Last spring, at the zoo, a family of robins ended up making their home in the lion’s beard while he was asleep. Fearing for the birds’ safety, the zookeeper was dispatched to find a way to remove them. It involved carefully combing the twigs and leaves from the individual strands of hair, and even with the heavy dose of tranquilizer given the lion, carried a large element of danger.
The local TV news crew heard tell of the story, and found it an excellent upbeat feature for their program.
After they’d filmed the delicate procedure, they asked the zookeeper how he’d felt about undertaking such a dangerous task. “Well,” he told them, shrugging philosophically, “beast is beast and nest is nest, and never the mane shall tweet.”
