This ole boy is gettin' a little slow on the uptake
« on: July 03, 2011, 08:10:48 AM »
So I'm driving west on 44th Avenue coming out of Golden and in Wheat Ridge I spot a laundromat I never noticed before.  Since I usually drop off my laundry, I made a note of it to try them out, but I noticed they had an error in their signage.

It wasn't until about five blocks later that I "got" it.  The sign said,

Quote

  rop off
D
Laundry


I gotta try them out, now.

Oooooookay. I got that drop off "d" laundry part BUT it reads as "Rop off" and that ruined the pun for me and I was looking for something more... Just not my brand of humor I guess.

Years ago a new business opened up in a strip mall not to far from me.  The name was:

Vide (a circle safe combination dial was here)
Vault

My wife and I looked at that for the longest time trying to figure out what a vide vault was.  She then looked at me and said video vault.  Duh!!  They went out of business, I guess no one else could figure out what a vide vault was.

I understand, I just don't find it funny or a very good pun.

I thought puns were supposed to be bad  ;)

There used to be an interior lighting store in Plano Texas called Light Motif.

Which I always assumed was a pun on "leitmotif"

On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
