Strange but true...

I was weed eating my creek bank today when I startled a lime green frog off the bank into the water where it was promptly caught by a snake. I watched as that snake "swallowed that poor boy whole." The frog emitted a defiant ribbet just as he disappeared down the snake's gullet. Then it struck what I had just witnessed, a frog croaking.

Whats so wild about this tale is that it actually happened to me. I guess this proves that the pun does exist in nature and should be protected and studied.

LOL, but glad you were the witness and not me!

I nominate you for head of APOP (Agency for the Preservation of Puns) where you can carry on your work of protecting one of the earth's under-appreciated denizens. Be strong. There will be resistance.

A teacher was finishing up a lesson on the joys of discovery
and the importance of curiosity. "Where would we be today,"
she asked, "if no one had ever been curious?"

One child quietly spoke up from the back of the room. "In the
Garden of Eden?"

:-) So true.

Curious or gullible? Either way it did get a laugh out of me! :-)

You gotta be tough to drink buttermilk! My opinion is it's only good in things like bis-quites!

by tgatzajr at 05/18/13 10:52PM
Buttermilk is definitely an acquired taste. My grandfather LOVED it. With cornbread crumbled in it. Me, I'll crumble my cornbread in fresh cold regular milk, thank you very much!!!

Law of Logical Argument:
Anything is possible if you do not know about what you are talking.

Well, I'm going to have to take a raincheck in meeting you and Janet for lunch Saturday. It turns out I wasn't needed to work at the college today so I had the opportunity to come home early, and I took it. Got home late last night and after being gone nearly 2 weeks, it was nice. It was nice to be with my felines - all 3 of them joined me in the bed - once I finally got there. I got everything unpacked and once I unwound, I think it was about 2:30 when we went to bed. So now Ive got lots of Buyback paperwork to do - ugh!!! It used to be all paperwork, and now it's on the computer, and I have to scan and attach, etc, etc, and I am not the fastest at that. It's even harder when I've got felines lying on my papers or walking back and forth in front of the computer!!

I would imagine other opportunities will present itself - I hope so and hope you enjoy the weekend. Think we're going to continue with rain. After that storm I had to drive in on the way home from St Louis, I'm glad I'm not going to be driving in any rain.

by lovescats at 05/10/13 7:57AM
We are sorry it didn't work out that we could meet you, but we are glad you had a safe journey home! Maybe some other time.

by this_old_man at 05/10/13 10:22AM
Thank you! I do travel in that direction from time to time, so I will definitely contact you! I had told my friends in Wetumpka about the plans. They are familiar with the barbecue place!

by lovescats at 05/10/13 12:44PM
No wonder all my co-workers make sense! :-)

by tgatzajr at 05/11/13 10:19PM
I could not help but think of Si on Duck Dynasty when I read your statement. LOL

I changed my iPod's name to Titanic. It's syncing now.

When chemists die, they barium.

Jokes about German sausage are the wurst.

I know a guy who's addicted to brake fluid. He says he can stop any time.

I stayed up all night to see where the sun went. Then it dawned on me.

This girl said she recognized me from the vegetarian club, but I'd never met herbivore.

I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. I just can't put it down.

I did a theatrical performance about puns. It was a play on words.

These were lovely, just lovely. :=)

by meditationis at 05/04/13 9:25AM
Good ones! :-)

by tgatzajr at 05/04/13 11:36AM
These are all clever but "I can't put it down" made such a funny picture in my head.

by ceoltoir at 05/04/13 12:27PM
My hubby laughed at the brake fluid one, and the stayed up all night/dawn.

by tryphena at 05/05/13 2:17PM
you make me groan because of you puns more than any other person I visit on here. :-)
