In honor of Dana's ordination, and because Elizabeth has said she'll parish without another pun smackdown, we're doing puns about religious orders (I'll have monk fish) and other churchy-type stuff. Of course, since I can't really stay logged on (due to packing for the move, etc.) I suppose I'll be participating ex-cathedrally -- I could be wrong about that, though.

[Wink]

Anyway, the bells are ringing. Come inside. Kumbaya...

I'll have to enchoir about this pun business. It's a new testament for me, this writing style. Hymn... I'll have to think some more.

I don't do many puns. I may have to altar my writing style. I'll pulpit up a bit and make my writing meatier.

That was sort of an ad-homily attack, don't you think?

Liz, Aisle be damned -- just climb over people.

[Wink]

Seriously, you stole that one. I had it right here in my pocket ready to pop in here and freshen things up a bit. Sort of a vest mint.

I wonder if our host will want to make any puns? Or will he just wine like usual?

Did you hear about the hot new magazing being published? It's just for singing churchgoers, called The National In Choir.

If you ask the pastor for advice right after services, is that like having an in vestment counselor?

My pun writing isn't very theo-logical.I must confess that thinking of them is praying on my creativity a bit.

My friend quit drinking, and that is all well and good. Now he is addicted to Internet forums. He is a postholic.

Bob, you nave, is this a vestment in Liz's goodwill? By the way, is Smokey's mpther still alive? There's nothing worse than a dogma that's too rigid.

I think the humor, such as it is, in this thread had peaked by now. I haven't laughed at in in ages.

Although Jenni can quote it chapter and verse.

Egyptians used to believed cats were guardians of the underworld, but it was hard to get them to stay awake. They had special priests to take care of that: someone with a tabby knack'll really help with stubborn cats.

Just a quick note about an old friend that formed his own religion. We went to one of his sermons and my daughter was quite curious about his ornate,sleeveless overcoat. Having spent countless hours with said friend qualified me to explain what the vestmeant.

My husband is grouchy today, I think because he's on a diet. The doctor said he needs to needs to watch his cholesterol, because it's a little high. Then he wanted to order pizza, and I said, Don't trumeau that your health is at stake? Don't be so cornice, he replied, it's not your business, so buttress out. You're the boss, I said. It's not my problem if your arteries get all jambed up and clerestory.

I don't know. Bunbun's wit sounds less like religion and more like architorture.

You stole the puns; there's no surplice for the rest of us. But the truth is, the puns on this thread aren't worth tu nicles anyway. Are the puns - GAR! - meant to be so bad? I think I'll just rochet out of this zone as fast as I can.

I knew a guy once who made too many bad puns. Finally, I said to him, "Eu Christ or something? So stop with the puns!"
