How To Make a Pun
This contest is open to everyone. Here's a handy dandy guide on how to make a pun: Learn to Pun
Rules for the PUN-test:
- If you hope to win a prize, your pun must be your original work
- Puns must be relevant to the topic of the week to win a prize, but they can be very loosely related.
Last Week's Punday Monday:
Here is last week's Punday Monday, and all the puns that were eligible to win this week are in the comments!
Hang on to your PUNderwear. The Winners of This Week's PUNday Monday Are...

Rookie of the Week:
Pocket Choice Awards:
I am of the opinion that there are four responses to creative works one doesn’t like.
Constructive criticism. Help them get better!
Useful review. Help audience members know which of them will like and which won’t like this piece.
Outdo them. Demonstrate to yourself and others what “good” looks like.
Keep it to yourself.
There is, however, only one way to respond to creative work one DOES like.
Send them POCKET.
What pun was your favorite?

This Week's Pun Topic Is:
Father! (Because yesterday was Father’s Day!)

Why don’t male balloons want to have grandkids? Because when they do, they become pop-pop.

congrats to my cousin Stan for his knocking that pun out of the park last week
I really like his sense of humor, but after he became a dad he moved from a great distance away. So he's now a farther father.
Unfortunate

My son has a small speech impediment. It is no big deal. It doesn't affect his life much. In fact, he potentially could go father than anyone.

I have to tell you about the male figure in my life while growing up, I came from a broken home. But when I went to work on a farm there was a kindly old professor in horticulture who would come around and teach me about the best soil and watering schedules. He was really good with Jalapenos, Hollands, Sweeties and all forms of the Piperaceae because that's what his PHD was. I really liked Pop Dr. Pepper.

My kid is so tech savy but she does not have much patience for me when I ask for her help, I tried asking her to help me set up my own web site domain and she shooed me away with, "Go Daddy."
I tried to go to Boston Cathedral once but the parking was so bad that even the priest had trouble finding a spot. I saw him ask a cop if he could just leave his car running near the church and the officer snapped back, "No, you need to go park FATHER!"
This week's topic is so difficult that folks have not DAD to participate.

Here's some FATHERLY advice, have him practice speaking with pebbles in his mouth and repeating verses when running. That is what Demosthenes did to cure his problem.
