A pun a minute means time flies... oh never mind. I'm not good at thinking up puns, but I sure do love to hear them. It seems many of you do too, as so many of them come to me from friends and strangers alike.

Here, then, are some more funny funny, punny punny offerings from my collection for your enjoyment:

My local bakery is hiring now – they knead new employees.

I'm reading a book on the history of lubrication. It's non-fiction.

Apparently this weekend there will be constant rane, hale, fails, drissel, thundre, litenin, hy tydes, tawnaydoes, and frizzin cold... a rilly bad spel of wether.
