Citrus Puns That Will Squeeze the Laughs Out of You

Last summer, I tried to be fancy and host a “citrus-inspired” brunch. I imagined beautiful platters, artfully sliced oranges, and maybe even a lemon centerpiece. Instead, my juicer exploded mid-squeeze, I mistook limes for kiwis (do not ask), and my hands smelled like a fruit stand for three days.

But honestly? That brunch was still a hit partly because citrus makes everything better, and partly because I could not stop making citrus puns until my friends begged for mercy. So grab a glass, because I am about to pour you a whole pitcher of zesty humor.
