Last week, I tried to break the ice at a party with some military puns; figured I would drop a few bombs (the funny kind). Instead, I accidentally started a full-on pun battle.
Someone yelled “At ease!” and I still do not know if they were laughing or begging me to stop. Either way, I knew I had to recruit more. So here we are; locked, loaded, and pun-ready.
