The Riddle and Pun Thread

Your new riddle I find makes me frown

You're suggesting you'll give me a crown

Of Glory? How rank.

Send a cheque to my bank.

I could do with a night on the town.

 

Nighty night. Some of us have rehearsals to go to!

Tragedy of Errors in judgment?

 

The Soldier had never thought he would be

Between the devil and The Deep Blue Sea

 

He had been Ernest in playing his role

He a 'Glass Hero' with a frangible soul

 

He followed orders and risked his life

But fatally erred with the Colonel's wife

 

The Colonel presented falsified facts

accused him of commiting traitorous acts

 

And when the Colonel's farce was staged

He claimed not he was 'Otherwise Engaged'

 

He could not counter the Colonel's lie

For the woman he loved was his best alibi

 

The Boy on The Bridge saw them at the time

but he had traveled south to a warmer clime

 

Soldier and Colonel both became tragedians

for an audience of Strippers and Comedians

 

He would not confess but he would not deny

and Murmuring Judges sentenced him to die

 

His case did not become a 'Cause Celebre'

He danced to the music, the Piper he did pay

 

He didn't get much and he really paid the most

but the Colonel's wife was NOT his assigned post

----------------------------------

 

 

The lines are poor but they give a clue

about a board member. Do you know who?

Malchik would do it better and probably should

(to) give others a chance at solving this one if they like.

:D :D

Sorry if this seems like necromancy, but I had a few tales that were downright awful puns

First of all, I work at a supermarket as a cashier, so these are based on work. Second, my humor is pretty dry at times, so bear with me.

 

First:

At one point, I would check cartons of eggs, the half dozen variety, by inverting the carton, and opening it. While doing this, I accidently dropped one onto my register. Needless to say, my response was "I guess the 'yolk's' on me"

 

Second:

A customer who'd purchased steamed lobsters had brought his children along with him. One of the kids asked why they were red, and the father responded that they were angry. I naturally chimed in with a horrible pun that got a few laughs out of my boss too. My response; "Nah, they're not angry. They're just 'steamed'."

 

Okay, that's all I got for bad puns.

I'm not sure that you can have necromancy on an open thread like this. Fortunately as yet we do not make people suffer for posting puns - even if the humour is iffy. (With puns it is often the spontaneity of the moment that makes them amusing and they don't repeat too well.)

 

BTW the answer to the riddle before your post is me. (Info extracted from the internet - plays I have written, directed or acted in - using my real name.) How would anyone else know, Caveatar?

 

If anyone wants to post clean humour to the thread feel free. If it ain't clean, watch out for a strike!
