Never look a gift horse in the mouth. Unless it comes from the Greeks.
Kerryn Kapitola that wasn't very good, keep Troying.
Peter Kapitola Kerryn, your put-downs are taking me to Helen back.
Adam Brown Always be aware of things that go greek in the night.
Peter Kapitola Puns have always been my Achilles heel.
Kerryn Kapitola Ok, I'll be more supportive. Troy, Troy Athen Troy some more.
Peter Kapitola Thanks Kez. I was felling Illiad for a while there.
Kerryn Kapitola That's okay, it's just nice to pun with you again. It's like they say, there's no place like Homer.

Protracted

Support the farmers with a pro-tractor.
Chris Roberts You're not angling for this to become another all-encompassing, protracted list of puns are you? Because if so I'd like to set square boundaries or rules.
Erik Olsen As a rule, I would not call this funny
Peter Kapitola You're right, we don't want to go off on tangents now do we? I'm acutely aware of what normally happens. We'll start off with math puns but end up progressing onto rather irrational topics.
Chris Roberts Then we'll get competitive with increasingly obtuse attempts at pun-upmanship as we try to figure out what is the right triangle based pun to use (until some square equals the two sides by helping out). How about, rather than circling one another as it gets worse by degrees, I wave goodbye and sign off now and you agree to co-sign off at the same time?
Peter Kapitola I don't like your negative angle Chris, was responding like that just a reflex? Don't think of this as an argument - we actually complement each other nicely. That's not just hyperbole, I really mean it. So no I won't sine off, we've only used a fraction of the available puns in this set.

Daniel Braithwaite I'll get some ideas on the boyle
Boyd Zurg Why draw me into this pointless diskussion? I have nothing to add
Boyd Zurg ..although, I suppose I could offer some perspective; I've been told I'm a lateral thinker (tend to look outside the box)
Kerryn Kapitola well look who just did a 180
Boyd Zurg What do you Mean? I was merely differentiating between the spheres of my capacity to contribute.
Peter Kapitola Thanks guys for integrating yourselves into the conversation - it seems like your kind of area. With only a minimum of people the humour starts to get a bit derivative and doesn't function well.
...
Peter Kapitola It's been a day since the last pun. Does that make this the aftermath?
Boyd Zurg Yes. Putting it planely, the conversation was too one-dimensional. Perhaps you could also talk about agriculture? Or would that be too hard to coordinate?
Peter Kapitola I'm sure that would be quite fertile ground for some puns. If we dig deep, I'm sure we can unearth a great harvest.
Kerryn Kapitola Yeah, but I'm in Europe, so these conversations are really hard to keep tractor of.
Chris Roberts That's why you don't need just any tractor, you need a pro-tractor!
Peter Kapitola Isn't it amazing what puns crop up when you combine two topics. I'm not even furrowing my brow thinking of these.
Daniel Braithwaite Looks like this post has transformed from math based puns to farming. I like the vector.
Daniel Braithwaite Ewe could have a field-day with such a matrix of topics.
Boyd Zurg Imagine if there was such a thing as a math-farmer. You could use axes to cut your product at its root, then put it in Descartes, tessellate at the market. Life would be so much β.
Boyd Zurg I'd be in my natural domain. I could sit on the complex plane, under a factor tree, making corny jokes whilst listening to the cows μ.
Kerryn Kapitola Stuff the farming part, we know I'm only in it to eat pi.
Daniel Braithwaite I'll have sum pi too.
Peter Kapitola Boyd Zurg, you win the internet.
