[Found these descriptions of life from friends and acquaintances posting on the internet] I used a chemistry pun on the Grif.Net once, but got no reaction. I have a dentist who simply loves working on my teeth. He may be abscessive compulsive. I used to do balance and rotations at…

[Another old-but-good rerun – it is summer and hot and I just flew back in at midnight from the Left coast] A woman accompanied her husband to the doctor’s office for his checkup. Afterward the doctor took the wife aside and said, “Unless you do the following things, your husband…

[This is an old story with lots of variation, but still brought a smile] Ted and Marsha had some previous up’s and down’s in their marriages when they were younger, but now at retirement age they were sure they’d found the right one. The bride-to-be was obviously stressed out, and…

[Yeppers. Another day of the week, another bushel basket of bad puns.] The fish were shy, so I assumed they were obviously being koi. If gophers become extinct, the hole ecosystem will die. All waterfowl keep their eyes closed when landing except for one. Obviously that is the Peking Duck.…

[Yeah, I’m enjoying a week of word-play and lousy puns. Deal with it.] My dog has a lot of potential, you just have to unleash it. I wanted to bring a penguin home for a pet, but my parents said that wasn’t going to fly. It’s raining cats and dogs.…
