Lee Herridge *boom tish*

Peter Kapitola Thanks for propping me up Lee. I consider my puns well refined so my ego was starting to cave in.

Lee Herridge No problems bro - I got your back 

Richard Kohlhagen Just keep digging Peter

Peter Kapitola I know these puns are fairly oreful, but we're nowhere near exhausting this vein. Perhaps Boyd Zurg, Chris Roberts, Kerryn Kapitola, Adam Brown or Daniel Braithwaite can deposit some further wit? Feel free to just fly in, comment and fly out.

Daniel Braithwaite Could be return of the iron lady

Boyd Zurg Sorry to get your Hope Downs, but I find this topic rather boring at the moment (working in the industry does that to you)..

Kerryn Kapitola You might have a whole brainful of puns but I can't be bothered to Open Mine.

Richard Kohlhagen You have a very opal mine Kerryn Kapitola, I'm sure if you drill down into this conversation you'll find some real gems

Kerryn Kapitola I shied away when you wrote those words, you could even call this place my bauxite.

Peter Kapitola Assay, these are some mighty fine puns, what silver tongues we all have.

Out-troy-geous

Peter Kapitola
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

Peter Kapitola posted to Chris Roberts
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.

Peter Kapitola tagged Kerryn Kapitola, Daniel Braithwaite, Boyd Zurg, Adam Brown

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.

Punfurnished

Chris Roberts Many years ago two brothers invented a cabinet full of sliding receptacles for storing clothes. One wanted to call each receptacle a 'sliding shelf', the other a 'convenient compartment'. They fought about it for years, but neither could convince the other. So in the end they called it a draw.

Craig Sutton-Smith Just as well they didn't call it a tie.

Peter Kapitola Oh Chris, you really have to draw jokes out, don't you. But I don't suppose there's any way we are going to shelve your sense of humour for good. You wear it constantly like a robe to ward off tedium. I'm sure there's a good name for a robe that does that but I can't think if one right now.

Chris Roberts Well Peter, I'm happy to furnish you with some suggestions if you ever wish to win the punning cup. Bored as you might feel by these jokes I'd like to table a suggestion before we put them to bed. Maybe rather than lampooning other's wit you should consider showing some chairity. Sofa you've just made a couple of puns that I'd deskribe as lazy. Boy, you could be getting these from a book (case in point).

Peter Kapitola Well, you've certainly given me a good dressing down and chaisetening. But perhaps you could have couched it in less abrasive terms, and with more polish. I feel somewhat buffeted about, so perhaps more cushioning would have been in order. Anyway, I can't lounge around here all day, better run.

Daniel Braithwaite Chris and Peter, your puns remind me of a stool.

Punhelpful

Jessie Kapitola Please can we have your help? My friend Libby and I are going to start a blog with recipes and food tips etc for families with children who have multiple food allergies and also for easy children's meals ... but we are struggling with a name. We are tossing up between 'Not much to work with' and 'Mothers of invention'. We'd love your thoughts ... or any better ideas you have too!

Fumble Beginnings

This blog started in Decemeber 2012 as a way of saving the transcripts of the extended pun-fests that I've been a part of (not those that I've been apart of). My hope was that future generations of punsters will be able to look back on our exploits and groan mightily. I opened up the floor to suggestions, and lead with a few to get the ball rolling...

Peter Kapitola Pun and Dusted

Peter Kapitola For the Pun of it.

Peter Kapitola Stick to your Puns.

David Mallick I once entered a pun contest. Didnt win it though. I had 10 of the juiciest , most delicious puns ready to go hoping that one would take first prize. Unfortunately no pun in 10 did.

Adam Brown Kapitola Punishment

Daniel Braithwaite Just an opunion

Tooth-Hurty

Chris Roberts
Can't believe it, the dentist and asked to schedule an appointment for 2.30! Some days it feels like God is setting your jokes up for you....

Peter Kapitola I'm sure you've been there plenty of times, so you know the drill.

Judson Williams I'd brush it off as a coincidence

Richard Nicholls This conversation is decaying rapidly.

Daniel Braithwaite I'll bet the dentist will be sick and you will get a fill in

Chris Roberts And to cap it all off, now everyone else is chiming in. That's the crowning achievement! Even thought I've pretty much handed you all these puns on a plate, so I suppose I'd better brace myself for more.

Richard Nicholls Well done, I think an award is in order ... perhaps some kind of plaque.

Daniel Braithwaite Time to pull out some more puns?

Daniel Braithwaite What an addenture this is turning out to be

Chris Roberts I'm beginning to wish I could be extracted from this conversation before it gets too long in the tooth.

Richard Nicholls Ah, such wisdom!

Daniel Braithwaite I'm not sure I have the palate for this

Brittany Crook Can I never Reach your scale of wit? In size or number?

Richard Nicholls Sometimes the tooth is stranger than fiction.

Chris Roberts By Cuspid's beard! Gum on guys, if these incisive puns take root we might find we've bitten off more than we can chew and (incidentally) be falsely accused of lossing our minds.

Chris Roberts The original pun was about the time "Tooth-hurty", but I'm not worried about that. I won't even need analgesia. I've learnt to transcend dental medication.


Erik Olsen Hard to cap that

Peter Kapitola Going to the dentist can be very full filling.

Luke Shepherd It's good that you're only posting positive things about dentists... because, you know, they have fillings too.

Peter Kapitola Yeah, they can often get a bid sad, and look down in the mouth.

Erik Olsen But if you don't go to the dentist for a long time, you know abscess makes the heart grow fonder

Peter Kapitola True Erik. If you don't go for 10 years, you would have a bad tooth decade.

Erik Olsen After I ate some chocolate I was told I was a chip off the old block

Kerryn Kapitola you guys are so funny, I should keep you guys on a retainer

Erik Olsen It is just great there is so much wisdom on this page

Peter Kapitola Such biting, incisive wit.


Peter Kapitola I think we may have extracted all the puns. Ortho don't worry, I think I can find some more. I'm fact I know I can-nine to be precise. Hopefully before this you won't be like a rude dentist and lose your patients. Oh dear, this humor is turning noxious. If these puns have you rolling on the fluoride be surprised. Don't worry, you won't hurt my fillings. Well I guess I'd better sign off oral be late for work. Tartar.
