A little something for our lexiphiles.
Today's Question(s):
Today's questions were inspired by hubby, who, when I told him today is World Porridge Day, said, "sounds grueling."
First, I'll throw out a few puns...
A man stole a calendar and got twelve months.
A bicycle can't stand alone; it's two-tired.
When she saw her first gray hairs, she thought she'd dye.
Now I'll ask, what are a few of your favorite puns? Ducks don't have their palms read - they look for it on the web.
Just for Fun:

I tried to be a gold prospector, but it didn't pan out.
I fired my masseur. He rubbed me the wrong way.

And my favorite, as a public service announcement:
If you don't want kids, use a condom on every conceivable occasion.

Here's one for Halloween: Mummies are bound to be uptight.
And then one I heard recently.... Weight loss mantra? Fat chants.
Just for Fun: What word do you like to say simply because it sounds silly?
Not a "word," but what I thought first was that when I've had a little too much to drink I say things like, "My nums are lip." Translation: My lips are numb.
Bonus Question: Have you ever: defenestrated anything/anybody? No, though I've felt like it at times. been capernoited? If you mean tipsy, I already confessed to that.... used a biffy? Oh yes, but ewwwwww.
Thanks for giving me something else to think about today besides the pointless testing we're having to put the kids through this week!
dlangy=the infinitely stretchy cheese-strings that reach from mouth to pizza.
That's so funny! I'd never heard it before. Did you make it up?
