Please skip this post if you don’t like puns. Some people consider puns the lowest form of humor. Others consider it the highest. I agree with the latter. My dad was full of all sorts of humor – from funny stories from his life, to jokes, to sarcasm, to puns. I grew up with it and learned to love it all. When you are able to see the humor in any given situation, it helps you cope with it in a healthy way. 😃
My dear friend Marsha sent these. I laughed my head off at some of them. I hope you smile, grin, smirk, guffaw, giggle, laugh and groan at a bit.
I grew up surrounded by humor. My dad was quite creative, starting and running a one-man advertising agency in Tulsa, Oklahoma, winning advertising awards and becoming a bit famous in some circles.
He taught my brother and I to appreciate all forms of humor. He would drive me nuts asking, “What’s funny about that?” throughout the day. He told stories that had funny endings, or told so that you could picture the action so strongly you rolled on the floor with laughter. He drew funny or clever pictures. He constantly made jokes, made puns, played with the English language. He was sarcastic, snide, and one of the most caring people I’ve ever known.
He used humor as a protection against hard things in life and taught us to do the same. To this day, if I can stand back and see the humor in a situation, it calms me down, makes me smile, and allows me to handle things better. I miss him so much, but I can almost FEEL him looking down at me, saying, “Lighten up, Lin.”

I love this one. A proofreader might have been able to save them a lot of grief and embarrassment that the maze was finished almost before it got started.
I’m amazed this personalizing company stayed in business this long.
