Tea Party Puns Worthy of a Royal Giggle

Last weekend I hosted a “proper” tea party… which lasted about seven minutes before turning into a contest for the worst tea party puns imaginable. My friend Brian brought a tricorn hat, my dog stole a biscuit, and someone yelled, “No taxation without steep-resentation!” I am not sure if we were drinking tea or starting the American Revolution in my living room, but either way, it was the best history lesson I have ever had.

They rolled their eyes, but I swear I saw them smile; proof that a good pun, like good tea, just gets better the longer you let it steep.
