If that's singing I'll stick with the community chorus.

I count myself fortunate that about half the time I don't even realize that TEd has committed a pun and the othe half, if it's long and involved enough, I recognize in time to move on.

There's one or two who grumble that my plays on words aren't all puns, or is it that some of my puns aren't all plays on words. I don't pay no nevermind to them. I learned a long time ago that arguing with some of these people is like tryin' to teach a pig to sing. Waste of time and annoys the hell outta the pig.



Ted: My father always said, "To those who understand, no explanation is necessary. To those who do not understand, no explanation is possible".
I appreciate a good pun and am known for being the author of many (verbally). We are simply a Mis-punderstood lot, eh?

This thread longs for something doggy-style.

You mean this musick?

cynosure (SY-nuh-shoor) noun

1. One who is the center of attraction or interest.

2. One serving for guidance or direction.

[Originally the term was applied to the constellation Ursa Minor or the
North Star (Polaris) that was used in navigation. The term is derived from
Latin Cynosura (Ursa Minor), from Greek kynosoura (dog's tail), ultimately
from the Indo-European root kwon- (dog) that is also the source of canine,
chenille (from French chenille: caterpillar, literally, little dog), cynic,
kennel, canary, hound, dachshund, and corgi.]

Gee! Looks like you've got hair enough to write some 'shaggy' yourself.
