There's a big pun competition in Austin called the "O. Henry Pun-Off"
O. Henry was an American writer who put lots of puns in his stories. He's probably best known for his short story, "The Ransom of Red-Chief" in which the kidnappers of a young boy pay so the parents will take back the obnoxious child.
But I digress.
Today, I got to go to the 30th O. Henry Pun-Off, and it was a hoot.
At said Pun-Off, there is a round of "Punslingers", in which two contestants each have five seconds to make a pun from a specified subject.
My personal favorite was from this really fast guy.
Subject is "Insects and Bugs"
"You know how Muslims have Mosques? Well in Mexico, they have mosque-itos!"
There you have it.
I didn't make it up and neither did you.
So don't claim you did, you b*****d.
Anyways, there were some amazing punsters there. I had a really pun time. If I laughed any harder they'd have to put me in a punitentiary. There were quite a few good pun-chlines.
Enough, enough.
At least they didn't have me in the "Zoo" round.
I'd probably be dis-koala-fied.
Even if I had a good koala-ty of jokes.
Alright, I'll actually cut it out this time.
I guess no one cares but I'm going to have a pretty rotten last week of school.
