What he said. So let's see you come up with ten good ones to illuminate us, oh Pun Wun. Sure can, Consuelo, but I was just kidding, I thought that all ten of the puns (but one) that Satin listed were good ones. The only thing I'm counting is to see if this post will be the ten-thousandth post on Words and Fun. Milum. PS: I think you win a car.

Kid gloves, gentlemen (using that as loose as possible)! Walk gingerly (or fredly) for there is a house of *cards stacked nearby.

Kid gloves, gentlemen (using that as loose as possible)! Walk gingerly (or fredly) for there is a house of *cards stacked nearby. Okay. What do we have here? Cube - three dimensional object of equal side. Also a number to the power of itself three times. 'And the horse you rode in on'. As in **** you and the horse you rode in on???? Fred and Ginger?? Something to do with dance?? Am I getting close?? Why the kid gloves?? Why think outside the cube?? And the house of cards has me completely befuddled. I guess I can read between the lines (I'm not as naive as you think) but perhaps you can spell out the answer to me.....
