Title: Quick Vote: Puns or No Puns
Post by: AFK on January 11, 2011, 08:53:40 PM
Alrighty spags.  Here's the low down.  My agency is doing this Open House deal tonight.  It will start in a few.  People get to come in and mingle with staff and check out all of the awesome stuff we do.  So I gotta schmooze and mingle with local VIPs and such. 

But here is the burning question.  Puns or no puns?  Should I just play it straight, be Mr. Egghead Professional, or should I add a little dash of Groucho to my routine?  What do you think Spags?

Make puns, don't point them out.  If they get it, all the better.

What are Puns?  Do they vote?  Can you spend them on hookers?

If you need puns to not be a dry mr Egghead Professional, make puns. If you can be all warm and socializing and still professional without puns, then, uh, maybe make puns. I mean, if you get an opening for a really good one, you wouldn't want to let it go to waste anyhow.

I went half and half.  My pun on the beet brownies was the hit of the party.

Which just goes to show how lame the party was.

BEET BROWNIES???  :?

Can't beet 'em.

Apparently it's an old recipe from Frank Zappa.  He called them the Break Beet Brownies.

I know, crazy.

You're starting to sound like the kid in the schoolyard who always kicks the girl he "hates".

At least he wasn't responsible for the rutaboogie.
