Everyone knows I’m not funny, but I used to think I was. I tried to be witty and snarky and quick with the cool remark. As I’ve grown older and marginally wiser, I’ve learned I have many other strengths. I like to think they make up for my lack of ‘funny’ for the most part. My one weakness is pun making. I know I’ve mentioned my love of puns before (on my About page, for example). Sometimes I search for new puns to share with my loved ones (and enemies). Other puns are passed on to me from those same friends and family and I deem to necessary to ‘pun it forward.’ Every once in a very long while, I come up with something funny of my own. Inevitably, it’s never quite as funny to others as it was in my mind before I spoke it, but it still merits a chuckle.
As part of my bedtime preparation, I try to make prepare the next day’s meals. I had gathered the lucky ingredients from our cabinets: Nature’s Path whole wheat bread, Trader Joe’s salted creamy peanut butter and roasted pumpkin seeds. All that remained was the sweet to go with the salty. Into the refrigerator I delved in search of my favorite preserves.
Oh no! I was in a jam jam!
I managed to scrape out just enough to make my sandwich and that, along with my joke, made for a very nice lunch.
Unfortunately, when I shouted out to the living room about my preserve predicament, The Huz just didn’t laugh as hard. Ah well, we aren’t all cultured enough to really appreciate some word play.
