baby, what's in that satchel?

puns galore. this comic always makes me laugh.

i can't remember where i heard that puns were the lowest form of humour. probably in an english lit class while studying shakespeare, where he employed puns muchly and wasn't exactly considered a classy gentleman. anyhoo, if anybody's interested, check out this page.

nothing like a long detailed explanation to take the fun out of a joke.

on a completely different note, i just remembered an incident from last week:

our bin was full of garden crap and we had no more space for the trash. but being asian, dad decided to go to a house on the street that we know is being used as a guest house for visitors from a singapore country club. what he didn't realize was that people were staying there ...

guest from the house: halt! who goes there? wherefore do you trespass on this property?
dad: [aside] zounds, i have been discovered. what shall i give so as not to arouse more suspicion? oh. i was just helping su (my aunt, the caretaker) wheel out the bin.

isn't he clever (sometimes)?
