Springfield’s high-end department store Costington’s stumped me for awhile. It was actually better before I figured out that it was a play on the words Costing tons, as simply having the “Cost” out there with a faux-old-money name sufficiently implied hoity-toityness. But then I woke up one day and realized it had to be a pun, and sure enough in about a minute I was :smack:
Here’s one for ya that I made up on my way to work: How to win friends and influence people, by Dale Carnegie-Mellon.
It says something about the gentle art of punning that I’m happier to hear that “Aarrggh.” than the appreciative comments upthread (although those were nice and duly noted, thank you!).
Around thanksgiving time, grocery stores put out free-standing racks of various herbs and spices for all the holiday cooking. I always found it appropriate that these were known as seasonal displays.
Bagging groceries one day, a cashier scanned a loaf of bread and then rang up a watermelon. I saved the bread from being crushed and said, “Dude! watch it. That bread was almost toast.”
