Puns

They say brevity is the soul of wit. They also say that the pun is the lowest form of humor. I say: come up with a better pun, and the more subtle the better.

I have two favorites, the first of which can be presented in two different ways...

A) There is a business near the sea shore. The business specializes in ridding your yard of those pesky sea birds. Their method for removal is to throw rocks at the birds until they leave. Their motto: No tern left unstoned.

B) There is a gravel road that meanders through a wooded area and leads to a cottage. People keep trying to turn off the gravel road to take a short-cut through the woods to get to the cottage, but the owner wants them to stay on the road. At the spot where people tend to take the short-cut, the owner has posted a sign: No Left Turn -- Unstoned.

More to come.

Haw! Haw! How very droll! Here in England we say that the lowest form of humour is sarcasm - which is obviously something I specialise in - being not much better than an earthworm!
