@paul.atreides
For the perfect double entendre!
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!
And furthermore, the BEST OVERALL PUN will win 1 SBI!
This week's pun topic is...
Progress!
As in,
When Phil Coulson asked Melinda May why she was taking all of the traitor’s stuff out of storage, she answered, “so we can move For Ward.”
Perfect,
This doesn’t need specialized knowledge of a geeky TV show at all….
…
You see, there’s a character named Ward on the first several seasons of “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D”, and everybody’s relationship with him is complicated, so you both might need to move forward from that, and you also might be feeling a little emotionally connected to who you thought he was, and want to do something for that person, for Ward. Like, he might heal somehow wherever he is by moving and moving on… anyways, bada-bing you been punned.
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!
And, as long as I have your attention… well, this place is probably already saturated with people who have referral codes for various “free money” things, but here are mine!

The head greenskeeper of a golf course was extremely excited, for his course was about to host their first professional tournament. One of the club members found him on the eighteenth green, trimming the grass with scissors. "Isn't that taking you forever?" the golfer asked.
"Actually," the greenskeeper replied, "I'm making decent pro-grass."
hoooeee!

I have beaten you!
Broken into your program;
I control you now!
And now it's worth noting that it was the OTHER post that you send pocket on for voting for your favorite.

I am so confused. I have punned on the pocket, and pocketed on the pun. Oh! Now I see why you have a fresh space for pocketing! I will pick up on these nuances eventually, believe you me!
You're no longer confused! Now that you got it, you'll have to participate every week!

I am still warming up to puns with you, I used to do it more frequently with a friend I had.
Punning is definitely a muscle, if you don't use it you lose it, and I am just getting back in shape.

PI is 3 point one four
and if I had only sent a little more
@chrisroberts would enjoy for sure
his pocket, don't you concur?
@pocket-pi ran away,
he had left a comment just to say
that I sent a silly transaction
but in the end it is still fun.
I concur

The year was 1861
and the south said to the north,
'Fella's we are pro - cede',
and the north resonded,
'Yeah well then we are for war'
Nice pun!

One day, Graham and his son Gress were walking down the street when the passed a building site.
"What's that Dad?"
"It's a house."
"Who's that Dad?"
"He's a Professional Builder."
"What's he doing Dad?"
"Building a house."
"So what's he called?"
"He's a workin' Pro, Gress!"
Yay and welcome! Also, if you're feeling punticularly inspired, feel free to enter multiple times with more original puns!

I dunno about that. This one was already taxing on my little mind
Lady: "I bet I can make you say the name of a comic book character without knowing"
Man: "That sure would be a Wonder Woman"
Lady: "My work here is done!"

hey, @improv.
I've opened an account in earn.com with your referral link.
Everything seems to be okay but I can't be verified because not having a business account.
Can you help?
Hmm. I think I used my Facebook account to sign up, but I don't have a business email either. Maybe that's something they've added since? Or maybe my Yahoo email counts?
Posted using Partiko Android
I've added my facebook account already.
And yeah it's maybe a new update.
Now I'm gonna use my yahoo mail then and see if that can do anything although it will not i guess as they want work or edu mail.
Anyway, how is the working system?
I mean, if i buy an email for this then will i possibly get the amount back?
I wouldn't bother. I've made $15 over the past several months. It's not a lot, but it's not hard when it pops up.
