Thread Name: BS: Good (or bad) puns
Subject: RE: BS: Good (or bad) puns
I still remember, after over 100 years, the very FIRST pun I heard. The criminals (Don Firth will appreciate this) were Gordon Tracy and Irwin Nash. The crime happened at Gordons store, "The Folklore Center," in the "U" district in Seattle. I was working for Gordon that day, dusting off records. In walked Irwin and started complaining, as usual, about his Mother and Father. Gordon listened for some time and then said, "It's obvious ... the problem is apparent!" I froze in my tracks, asked myself what is was that I heard. My life has gone steadily downhill since then. CHEERS, Bob
