Welcome to Gaia! ::

So, I'm hearing a lot of people, either friends or online, saying tha puns are the very lowest of the low - something that only simpletons can do. I have to disagree with that strongly. It can take a very sophisticated mind to come up with puns of all degrees, and some of them can be quite funny. I agree, however, that some puns can be very egregious... A look at one of Piers Anthony's Xanth novels can give you all the punnage that you need.


So what are your thoughts? Like puns? Hate puns? Indifferent?


And, if you can share some puns, that would be pretty cool.

WARNING - PUNNY CONTENT AHEAD

So, imagine there is a woman, and she's walking along the sidewalk. But, she is no ordinary woman. One of her legs is shorter than the other, and as a result, she walks at an angle. What is the woman's name?

Highlight here to find the answer (however, give it about 15 seconds before you give up, 'kay?) >>Her name is Eileen

I think they're annoying and stupid.

Puns, if indeed clever, are great. I perfer, and am much better at, quick humour. You know, when one person says something true and another person immediately retorts with something funny off of it.

Puns.....>< AAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! xd
Gawd my dad and brother are pun kings. stare And because I'm around them fairly often I punt too. domokun I can't think of any now because your mind pushes bad things out of your mind. stare My bro is NERV_child by the way if anyone cared to know.

I appreciate them.

More than some people, I think. I enjoy having them around, and I try to use them when I get a chance. My teachers are pretty punny, but it is important not to milk the pun, as some do. I probably laugh at them too much. At teacher humor and at puns, like the explorer Pansy de Lion. Was the Spanish armada a competition to see who got the most miles to the galleon? Who plays water polio? I do!

+I think puns are hard to make and all but still I find them so IRRITATING!! I've heard them all a million times!!!!! AHH like all my friends if they hear a pun they say "THATS SO PUNNY!!" Geez they love to bug me stare

I can't get your riddle...is it angie or something? sweatdrop whee +

I love puns. The cheesier the better. But that probably has something to do with growing up with a father who is t like... the champion of cheesy jokes.

Me: Put the kettle on, Dad
Dad: I don't think it'll fit me

rolleyes It's so cheesy, but even now I find it hillarious!

I love a good pun, I do use them quite often to be honest. The only thing that gets me about them is the fact that the media won't stop using the things. It's getting out of hand people!
