Only a good writer, that truly enjoys their craft, is able to masterfully insert a witty dry pun like that into their work. Bravo!
- fractallyte 1y ago> I root for Horse Laws and grow sad when a state bucks them. Another cute one!
- Waterluvian 1y agoIt’s a good pun but let’s not pretend that it takes a professional writer. I mean, have you met dads?
- busyant 1y agowe make fishy puns like that just for the halibut.
- munificent 1y agoI am offended you would say this. As a Dad, I put a monumental amount of effort into coming up with puns to make my family wince.
- Waterluvian 1y agoI remember wondering why my dad did it so much, given he never ever got a positive reaction. But now that I’m a dad, I get it. It’s just a sort of instinct. In fact, I think I’m seeking the puns that go splat rather than landing well.
- juahan 1y agoI have half jokingly thought that could there even be some evolutionary dimension of improving the language skills of your kids when doing it!
- bradknowles 1y agoFor years, my dad and I had pun fights. Sadly, my mom was caught in the middle. Literally. Her chair was between my dad’s chair on one end of the living room, and mine on the other end. That stopped after a while. I guess it was all the strokes and over work that got him.
- vunderba 1y agoOr the entirety of reddit for that matter. Most threads are inane word puns and/or turtles the whole way down.
- xandrius 1y agoCalling the horse/stable job a witty pun today is quite a stretch.
- 90s_dev 1y agoMaybe I'm just old and tired, but this pun is exactly like what you'd find in a movie review, which is literally the worst type of literature for that exact reason, and should be banned worldwide.
- noduerme 1y agoDon't be so hard on movie reviewers. They're mostly just alcoholics on pensions who found a reasonably good retirement gig. Also, they have more random esoteric knowledge about movie shit than anyone in our industry has about anything.
