Numeric and measurement type puns.

I'm sure Elizabeth will provide the yardstick by which we are all measured.

However, as we inch our way into this topic, I would just like to say that this one is already turning out to be a tall order.

Oh, and remember, I am your ruler.

Bob, you responded fast to Elizabeth's prod. I've got to Hand it to you your reply was measured and quick. I'm sure I would have stuck my foot in my mouth if I'd tried to respond so quickly.

We had some lizards, but their scales shrivelled up from too much heat. They had a scale factor of 0.

This is the perfect time to advocate a new society, The League of Extrodinary Punsters. I considered the League of Cunning Linguists but I felt that this had already been given much too much lip service.

These smackdowns get going so smoothly it almost seems like music. Maybe we could somehow log a rhythm to keep it going.

While the beleaguered fat lady was fitted for a dress, she sang an area to help with the work. Her volume was incredible. They could hear her out in the yard.

Edit to add: When she sang the musical scales, she shattered the windows.

I remember playing basketball against my sister. She was a couple of years younger than me. Back in 1972 I was a lot taller than her. I was 11 and she was 9. I guess you could say we weren't Fahrenheit 9/11.

I'll bet there are many punaphobiacs that find threads like this gross. If they only knew that to us this indicated 12 12's as opposed to disgusting.

Now wait just a tic! I don't mind a little small-minded humor at my expense, as long as it's measured and has a bit of poetry to it. I prefer a nice steady meter, you know.

But I must be missing the mark. I'm off on some tangent, I fear. Litreally. The puns are coming down by the bushelsful. I sure hope things peck up around here. Or we could play a nice game of dozens. We certain have a base twelve or so who'd be willing to weigh in.

I'd like to level the playing field, though. I think I would like to find someone who could help make these threads run better. Make him or her my coefficient.

My aunt refuses to make pastry in round pans. Whenever pressed, she gets mad and yells, "Pie are square!"

The famous Admiral instituted his own version of the metric system, but it was rejected. Sadly, the Perry meter isn't around much any more.
