So, I was looking at some puns the other day…
And, guess what? I found some about writing, punctuation, and English in general! And that gave me the idea to write this blog. I realize it is slightly less formal then the majority of my blogposts but I feel that there is always a place for humor.

And that means I can talk about them on this blog for my English class!

Usually, I would have to work puns into my blogs but this is a great shortcut I had not imagined. So, without further ado here are the puns I found on Buzzfeed. You may dismiss these as useless jokes. But young kids could learn things from these puns
Take for example this one about punctuation that asks …
Why don’t you want to date apostrophes?
They are possessive
I understand that as a college student you already know this, but if I were a grade school teacher I could use this pun to teach my kids to remember when to use apostrophes.

“But it’s so dumb” -Pun-hater
Okay, okay you didn’t like the first one. Fine. I won’t take it personally.
But at least try this one. It is my favorite one:
What happened when Past, Present, and Future walked into a bar
It was tense
Not even a chuckle? Come on, this is a tough crowd!
Now, I know that puns aren’t for everyone, but you should at least try to enjoy these ones. Maybe, the grammar puns aren’t quite your level. Well, how about a more historical pun then?
What makes “Civil Disobedience” such a great essay?
Thoreau editing
Yes, that is a reference to the fact the Henry David Thoreau wrote an essay titled Civil Disobedience. You guessed it!
But, fine. Since you aren’t enjoying these puns I will stop.
P.S. If you are actually enjoying these puns here is the link again.
