In honor of my heart donors...
I donated to DU for the first time in a while.

It's hard to feel cynical about this place at a time like this. :)

:toast:

5. No kidding.
A little change in perspective is a good thing. I think a lot of people are looking at DU a little differently today.

7. It's a nice break in what may be a contentious time.
I'll take it!

We can 'come out fighting' tomorrow.

:D

8. Agreed.
Under all the contentiousness seems to be a little heart (sorry, bad pun!)

12. Speaking of very punny...
:evilgrin:

It's too painful to post here - here's a link - the first one is 'two, two, two puns in one.' LOL

13. Ow. Painful is right!
Garrison Keillor:

So this man entered a pun contest. He sent in ten different entries hoping one would win, but unfortunately no pun in ten did.

14. Dueling puns?
This could get very ugly.

Okay, a couple of my 'favorites' from the . International pun contest?! Ow. Just Ow!

8. There was a group of friars who were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good friars to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged them to close. They ignored him. So the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that only Hugh can prevent florist friars.

(I bet you've heard this one before but it's just so bad I had to include it - Cerridwen)

9. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him ...(Oh, man, this is so bad it's good)....A super-calloused, fragile, mystic hexed by halitosis.

15. Hehe...
Those were so bad that I was literally laughing out loud. I recall reading them before, but they're still masterpieces, so to speak. It takes a twisted mind to come up with that stuff. Hehe....

Unfortunately (or, perhaps, fortunately), I'll have to concede the "win" to you, as I have to call it an evening.

It was nice meeting you over puns! Take care. :)

and declare that I think it's kinda fun to give them out, too. I may have to make another smaller donation to get a few more to spread around!
