Time to Groan

Wow, I'm tired, and you guys did most of the work! Thanks so much for joining in. We had a lot of fun with the story adventure.

Ready for something new? Well, how is your punnybone? This may be a little harder for the younger set, but you can always enlist help ( try JT, he's a natural at this....).

As you may know, a pun is a play on words, something that is funny (or not) because a word can be used in different ways. This week, you are to come up with a sentence that contains a fun pun, and where the rest of the sentence works with the pun. You might think of one right off the bat, or you might just try to think of a word that has more than one meaning and build a sentence around it. Words with lots of syllables (like in #4, below) sometimes work great! Or you can define a word in a "punny" way. And, as before, you can put as many as you want. You don't even have to wait on 2 people this time.

Here are some examples I came up with, to get you started (you might have to think about them before they will make sense):

1. Permanent wave: What Miss America's hand was cramped into, after the parade.

2. "I know there was a truckload of hay in that barn yesterday!" Farmer Joe said loftily.

3. "But, Doctor, I have no idea how I managed to swallow the peach seeds," she wailed pitifully.

4. "But Dad! Lassie's gotten into the canteloupes again!" hollered Farmer Joe's boy, Hick, in a melancholy voice.

(By the way, the lovely pastry above is a ......pi. Think twice before you enlist Ben's help with Christmas dinner. :)

Your turn.........
