Artistic and Humorous Outlet

Sometimes in the press of everyday events, one must simply laugh. 

Whether by serindipity or apurpose, a laugh exercises the body, relives the mind, and adds spice to whatever task is at hand.  There are many ways to find laughable thoughts, but my personal favorite--some would say my obsession--is

The PUN:   The lowest form of humor, the highest form of intelligence.

                    .  .  .  attributed to Bennett Cerf

To handle an incorrigible punster:

                               Just don't incorrige him.

• She stole the policeman's heart, but he made a cardiac arrest.
• An architect designing a stairwell had to retrace his steps.
• A smelly ant was expelled from the colony because he was deodorant.
• A restaurant had its two dishwashers sinkopated.
• There was nothing in the room except for an occasional table.
• Twelve male sheep with beepers created a ram-page.

From a favorite web site: The Pun Factory

Daffynitions:   (A type of pun in which a word is "defined" by the fact that it sounds like a group of words.)

Alarms:   What an octopus is.

Crick:   The sound that a Japanese camera makes.

Dockyard:   A physician's garden.

Incongruous:   Where bills are passed.

Khakis:   What you need to start the car in Boston.

Oboe:   An English tramp.

Pasteurize:   Too far to see.

Propaganda:   A gentlemanly goose.

Toboggan:   Why we go to an auction.

Oxymoron:   So stupid it takes your breath away..

Cynicism

Pragmatism
