on Bad Puns
Don’t spend too much time around me unless you are prepared to listen to some pretty disgusting puns. I can’t really help it; I get it from both the Glicks and the Weavers.
From my comments on a friend’s blog post:
[Meryl tells us she just won 155 Bach CDs.]
“Wow, that???s enough to fill a whole Bachs.”
[Meryl expresses doubt over her desire for that many CDs from one composer.]
“I suppose if you don???t want them, you could always give them Bach.”
“You could put some of them in a time capsule. Then it would be Bach to the Future.”
[Abby accuses me of being our high school choir director, a serial punster*, posing as me]
“You can make accusations, Abby, but you???ll never get me to come out from Haydn.”
And from an IM chat this evening:
Me: What’s the midterm problem this year?
Naf: So there’s this spring and a mass and they go into this bar…
Naf: Sounds like a bad physics joke, doesn’t it.
(later)
Naf: Yeah, there’s the spring, a mass, and a driver.
Me: I guess that would be the designated driver…
You have been warned. And yes, I confess I spent 10 minutes this afternoon trying to come up with a pun on “Rachmaninoff.”
*awaiting further pun-ishment, no doubt
Groan.
Er, although I also attempted to work Rachmaninoff into the Beethoven boat pun horror. I still think it could work without too much stretching…

rack man: “enough!”
(he is calling for not too much stretching)
okay, *that* is a bit of a stretch
though coming up with it wasn’t as torturous as I had expected…

Hahahahaha, David I didn’t know you had a blog (or maybe you did tell me, but it never really sank in). I just laughed for the last few mins. straight. Thanks
