Pundays

What's a bad comedian's favorite day of the week? Punday!

Some people would say that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit or comedy, but I would have to argue with that by saying that puns are far worse... unless of course you're the one telling them. Because for some reason, just that sheer annoyance that everyone shows after hearing a pun is enough to brighten up the rest of your day.


Now as fun as the disapproval you've just received is, you've gotta make sure that you aren't the one on the other end of it.

Not to mention, it'll probably crush the soul of your annoying boss, or coworker, or brother, or whomever thinks they are funny enough to be the next Groucho Marx.


In conclusion, what did the blogger say after he finished blogging? Nothing, because he's using a keyboard to type text onto a computer screen and nothing he types is actually read out-loud unless of course reading aloud helps this particular reader to comprehend what he is reading in which case this joke would fall short unless the person telling the joke decides to keep it going which would just lead to more confusion and would...
