Mitch4 sends in this OY (maybe a momentary CIDU).
So, as a cure, will that leg have to be Hermetically sealed?
Marrose sends this in:
That famous scene:
This is Dan Thompson’s Brevity, so it’s almost certainly a pun, and probably one that is easily explained, so I’m not posting it as a CIDU. But I don’t get it, so pan-der to your editor and explain it to me.
Mitch4 sends this in: “A bit labored, but in the end the pun works!”
guero sends this in:
Probably missing some weak pun here.
Phred and Boise Ed sent this in: “I definitely didn’t get this until I read the comments on the page… Certainly fits the bill here.”
Bob Ball sends this in: “Don’t those small bubbles rising from near the stern mean that whoever’s behind the wheel is drunk?”
The bubbles seem like a odd addition to an otherwise clever double pun. There’s the obvious pun around the sailors being on the mast, and the alternative definition of mast: “fruits, seeds, or nuts (such as berries, pine seeds, or acorns) of trees or shrubs that serve as food for wild or domestic animals and typically accumulate on the ground”
Octarine would be the color of magic — but from a different fantasy author.
Prem Pahlajrai sends this in.
I was often half asleep in English class, so semi-comatose.
Thanks for Mitch4 for sending this in.
(Yes, that’s a tree joke)
billr asks,
| Is a tree fund some new kind of financial instrument? |
Anyone? Your editor has a theory but doesn’t much like it.
