Hello friends,
Have you noticed anything unusual?
It's okay if you didn't, but I needed a bit of humor today and some pun. With so much seriousness out there in the world and sometimes our lives, laughter can soothe the stress and give us a fresh perspective.
I'm not very good at telling jokes but as the word nerd in our family, I discovered the perfect avenue to increase my humor quotient. Puns.
A pun is a joke using a play on words, usually homophones or words that sound the same but have different meanings.
You might consider puns a childish form of humor and wordplay. Shakespeare enlightened me to puns while I was still in high school. But some of my favorites come from Disney animated films.
In Finding Nemo, Marlin tries to break the ice with this joke. "There was a mollusk and a sea cucumber. The sea cucumber walks over to the mollusk and says, "With fronds like these, who needs anemones?" Go ahead, groan if you must.
I found over 150 Christmas puns. I will spear you by not throwing all of them your way. Here are just a few to lighten your load.
- The Christmas alphabet has noel.
- Are you oakey? Yes, I'm pine.
- Let's take an elfy!
- Love at frost sight.
and one more, just for pun...
- I love it when candy canes are in mint condition.
Keep your spirits lifted and your laughter heavy this holiday season, today, and all through the year.
Inspiration worth sharing . . .
- Our family won't enjoy our typical holiday gatherings and dinner. Instead, I'll reflect on Christmases past because food and family make the best memories.
- We all have funny Christmas stories. After unwrapping a new Apple TV, someone I know wondered who would want such a small TV. Here are more funny holiday stories.
- My first Christmas record was a 78 RPM of Gene Autry's Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer with If It Doesn't Snow on Christmas on Side B. A real golden oldie!
Inspiring words . . .
