The Pun Zone

Last week, I felt compelled to jump in on Twitter with some really bad puns.

One started innocently enough when this person Tweeted the following:  

J Robert Bonser ‏@JRobertBonser May 30
@gates_mcfadden Never realized you were in The Muppets Take Manhatten until my kids watched it today. You haven't aged a bit!

Ah, Gates McFadden! My favorite doctor in the Star Trek Universe, Beverly Crusher! So talented, so lovely and such a quick wit as seen below. 

Gates McFadden ‏@gates_mcfadden Jun 5
“@JRobertBonser: Never realized you were in The Muppets Take Manhatten until my kids watched it today. You haven't aged a bit!” Kermit has!

 

I might be a big fan of Gates McFadden but still, I thought I should come to Kermit's defense.

@gates_mcfadden @JRobertBonser Kermit may be getting older but he's never felt better.

Get it? Never FELT better? Because Kermit's a puppet, you see. Made of FELT. 

Sigh! 

Then I tweeted this last Friday.

I hope everyone had a happy #NationalDonutDay! This is a sacred day so I hope you remembered to keep it holey.

You see, doughnuts have HOLES and a sacred day would be considered HOLY and...oh, you do get it? Never mind. 

OK, one last one. 

One of my followers on Twitter likes to post comic book finds that are rare, unique or a really good value.

Fifty Cent Purchase.  

And here is what I had to say about that:

@AaronMeyers I just lava good volcano story.

To his credit, Aaron responded with this:

@dave_el1938 *rim shot*

Now THERE is a man who recognizes talent! 

OK, you all have been PUNished enough. See what I did there? Another pun. Yeah, I know: no off switch on the genius machine. 

I'll be back tomorrow with this week's installment of 10 Years of Doctor Who Reborn. Until then, be good to one another.
