Oh my goodness! Paul (A.) sent me the same list some time ago, and it got lost in my flood of email. Then, too, I was more concerned about Paul (A.)'s injuries from slipping on the ice than about posting his list of puns. Neverthess, mea culpa! He sent them first.
There is a saying in parts of NE England, Mimi, that "a joke's a joke, but bugger a carnival."
ReplyDeleteOh, dear :)
ReplyDeleteLapin, I confess I'm not sure I get your NE England saying, but I fear asking for an explanation. "Too many puns" is all that comes to mind.
ReplyDeleteIt's to do with letting things get out of hand or over the edge, Mimi.
ReplyDeleteI knew I shouldn't have asked, Lapin.
ReplyDeleteWell, you can blame me, but I didn't say she had to put them all up at once. . .
ReplyDeletesusan, as I see it, you're pretty well exonerated of all blame.
ReplyDeleteIs that sort of like Pope Benny exonerating the Jews?
ReplyDeleteExactly, susan. Do you feel better now that you're exonerated? I'm sure the Jews are thrilled.
ReplyDeleteTo my amusement, this same list was shared in a moment of humor at our staff meeting today.
ReplyDeleteThere is hope for the world when we do not take ourselves too seriously.
Paul, how nice that you have humor breaks at your workplace. If every place of work instituted humor breaks, I'm sure productivity would increase.
ReplyDeleteAbout the Jews, according to one article I read, at least some Jews are thrilled, so my snark stands corrected.
I thought that it was unnecessary for them to have been exonerated twice. I was under the impression that that had happened during the reign of an earlier pope. In any case, I guess that the fact that this pope is German rather than Polish makes it a more important occasion.
