The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

As far as I know, Stephan Pastis is the only cartoonist who regularly incorporates puns into his comics. He's halfway there. Now, if we could just get him to use limericks as well . . .

This is evidence that you are trying to get company during your stay in purgatory......
Purgatory or punatory... :-)
Oh, God. You just challenged him... We're doooooooomed, dooooooooomed I say...

I'll have to present the Carpe Pulti Theorem at the 2020 LibertyCon. Gives me time to finish working out the math for the probability function. This revolves around Grant's Limit, which is where the carpapult goes into automatic firing mode for pun-itive action ...
Now I have to add limericks to the puns; HATE mixing continuous and discrete variables!

Here in Acadiana, "th" sounds are often pronounced "d" by Cajuns and Creoles. An old joke goes like dis, "Little Boudreaux was asked by his teacher to make a sentence using the words "defeat", "defense", and "detail". After a moment, little Boudreaux proudly says, "De feet o' de cat went o'er de fence before de tail!".
Cheesy puns any 9 year old can make. My favorite book is
I Don't Care If The Rain Never Stops by An Wi.
