Feeling Punny

Did you know that another name for a pun is a paronomasia? To me that sounds more like a disease than a twisting of words. Maybe it's appropriate though because some people do find puns rather painful. I used to be one of them, and then suddenly one day... KAPOW I'm punning it up with the rest of them. So just for all three of you reading this (maybe more..?) I found a lovely pun! Jokes and puns are always better recieved in person, but when I read this it made me laugh out loud. And no, not in the LOLLAMA (the phrase you use when someone sends you a funny internet photo of a llama or alpaca) sense, but in the quietly-chuckling-at-my-laptop kind of way. It may not amuse anyone else though.

Without further ado, A PUN!

There are two guys who have been lost in the desert for weeks, and they're at death's door. As they stumble on, hoping for salvation in the form of an oasis or something similar, they suddenly spy, through the heat haze, a small tree off in the distance.

As they get closer, they can see that the tree is draped with rasher upon rasher of bacon. There's smoked bacon, crispy bacon, life-giving juicy nearly-raw bacon, all sorts. And the smell... oh, the glorious smell!

"Look Pepe," says the first man. "It's a bacon tree!"
"You're right!" says Pepe, "We're saved!"
Pepe doesn't wait another second. He runs up to the tree salivating at the prospect of food. But just as he gets to within five feet of the tree, there's the sound of machine gun fire, and he is shot down in a hail of bullets.

His friend quickly drops down on the sand, and calls across to the dying Pepe.
"Pepe!! Pepe!! What on earth happened?"
And with his dying breath Pepe calls back: "Ugh, run, run!! It's not a Bacon Tree after all..."












"...its a ham bush!"


To avoid plagarizing someone else's silliness I found this at badpuns.com. If you're looking for an example of my original punnery, see my blogger profile.

By the way I'm having pizza today! You may say, why Amelia, that is not so interesting. But I will tell you that I will finally be having my ULTIMATE PIZZA with the three toppings I love but have never had together. I may take a photo... updates to come haha.

Also, ONE WEEK until I depart for college-land. That's all. Besides that there was an earthquake today.

Oh the damage that was in D.C!
