@fishyculture! I cannot resist a bada-bing! I’ll pay you more than dust, so it’s fair fare for fairy faire fare.
And what prizes do they win, you ask?
Why, as usual, all the punsters got full strength upvotes on their submissions.
Our category winners will each get to choose a post (of their own or someone else's) and I will give that post a fully powered upvote and a @tipu tip!
This week's pun topic is...
Cloud! (just like @freewritehouse’s freewrite topic today!)
As in,
A bunch of clouds walk into the bar. The bartender, amazed and appalled (since clouds are notoriously bad tippers, especially considering all their silver linings) exclaims, “you can’t be cirrus!”
Bada-bing! You been Punned! You see, it’s funny because he’s so surprised and upset you might expect him to exclaim, “you can’t be serious!” but since he’s also amazed that Cirrus clouds would be so close to the ground, he’s incredulous about their cloud type, cirrus, which is a type of cloud, you know?
Perfect,
I'm so good at puns....
If you've never punned before, it might seem like magic! You can do it, too! Learn how in My Free How-To Guide on Punning!

BONUS! If you also read my freewrites, you'll remember my reference to... this story, which I found for you. He's an inspiration. https://www.gutenberg.org/files/3180/3180-h/3180-h.htm
It was the first time AI was to stand trial. Rather than require an oath, testimony and cross-examination, the prosecutor simply began to download files to be examined by the jurors. The attorney got an odd look on his face, and he poked at the keyboard a little frantically. Little beads of sweat began to form on his forehead... After several tense minutes he finally turned to the judge.
"Your honor, there is a problem. The robot has been utilizing third party servers for storage."
The Judge gasped. "Oh no! Don't tell me..."
The attorney hung his head in shame. "Yes sir, the witnesses memory has been clouded."
Bada-BING - you been PUNNED and frankly I am proud of that one. No apologies, that is some hi-tech humor right there. You see, it is funny because there really is a google (among others) "cloud memory storage" thing and a robot using cloud storage would have "clouded memory" which in humans means we can't remember stuff but for the AI it would mean the exact opposite, that all the data is safe and secure. Supposedly...
Who caught the Hamburglar?
McCloud
My meteorology professor said all of the exams will be cumulus.
The clouds were busy making shapes in the sky, except That One Cloud, because it was too preoccupied with checking its stratus.
I'm going to have to rain in my cloud puns. I'm Sleetly embarrassed by them to tell you the truth..
Snow use going on and on about it Oktaually..
In all cirrusness though, they are starting to acumulusate now, so I'll quit while I'm ahead..
Good day..
I listen to the weather on this old radio. It might look a bit busted up, but the reception is cloud and clear.
@acolucky So many levels to this one!
Lol! Thanks! Cirrusly funny meteorology lesson, too!
Since you won, give me a link to upvote and send @tipu to!
Cool! Thanks!
