In which Sock makes bad jokes thoughtfully.
“Those are mighty fine shoes you have there, Dick.”
“Thanks. As you can see, there’s a nice Asian motif stitched into the side. Like the dragon?”
“Looks sharp. Those shoes are perfect for DRAGON your feet around.”
“… I hate you, Sock.”
I may not be a passionate pontificator, wordsmith, or a poetic soul but if there is one thing I can do with finesse its punning. Although they are often lambasted and scorned for their “pun”-ishing ability to twist an unassuming statement or comment into a springboard for an awful joke (read: AWESOME JOKE), I for one absolutely love people who can swiftly exploit the wonderful little quirks that make English such a stupid language for HILARIOUS effect. Call it cheap humor but it takes some skill and a pretty quick mind to come up with an original pun with perfect timing. Hopefully someday someone will finally appreciate and agree with me but in the meantime, I am having a pun-derful time making horrible play-on-words.
