Pun chain reaction - my head exploded.

edited November 2012 in Commuting chat
Somebody wrote that something had been "spelt" wrong. I laughed at the irony that spelled was spelled wrong and then got to thinking that spelt probably has got iron in it, so is "irony". At that point I allowed myself a "rye" smile, thinking about the "corny" "cereal" gags that could be made.... I'll probably come a "crop"per, because none of these jokes will be "bran" new. What had started off as a "kernel" of an idea had kicked off a pun chain reaction which resulted in me "threshing" about on the floor whilst my brain dribbled out my "ear". So "rice" up and join me with your best cereal puns. I can "barley" wait....

    Very witty, just a shame that your initial premise is wrong

    Is it ironic that he thinks spelt is spelt spelled or is it just daft ?

    No apology needed, good to know the truth.....I blame American spell checkers. Still, I was a"maized" to find out that it can be spelt like that...

    You should really take this more seriously! At the local college where I work, some numbnut expressing an interest in Wood Trades wrote in the application form "I would like to be considered to take a course in carbontree". If that wasn't so dumb it might even be considered to be a genius at work with a gift for play on words.

    That's not a pun! There's always someone who has to go against the grain.

    (the observant amongst you will note both the crop and wood theme in that last pun. You can't learn skills like that, it's just pure natural talent)

    Please excuse my off thread comment, questioning 'calibre' as a way of best describing puns.

    I could not be expected to understand the complexities of your homophonic, homographic use of the english language.

    Barley an excuse though :D

    It has been a while hasn't it? I think everybody was ready for a brek though. This thread has provided a real variety pack of puns, some have been golden nuggets while some just make you go 'grr no la that's terrible'. Which is why I won't be joining in, even though every fibre in me is saying I should. Maybe alpen something later.

    Crikey, it's only a thread of bad crop related puns - no need to take the hemp and give the posters such flax! It's not like anyone's committed rape!

    I'll get me oat........
