It is a badge(r) of pride to pun in such esteemed company!

[Tusky]

Can you believe this thread is on it's 374th page? Acclimatise to that, if you can

(I hid jackal in there)

[Jubal]

But the sentence doesn't have a jay, so I'm confused now.

EDIT: oh, it's the ge? Accl

[Tusky]

Rats. I should've been clearer

[Jubal]

You could have been hiding anything in there as far as I was concerned, for a moment: secret messages about cake, or parts of Hansard, or a subliminal farm ad. I'll own up to the fact that the farm ad was just there to conseal yet another animal pun, but who knows what else I could coat in seemingly innocuous messaging, as part of yet another winning message in this epoch, arduously shared in the Last Post thread?

[Tusky]

That last post has left me humming, bird.

(bird is my new nickname for you)

(humming as in: thinking)

(the best puns & jokes need explaining)

[Jubal]

There's four animals in there intentionally at least, if that helps

Just look it over with a cup of tea, gleaning new insights each time you look.

[Tusky]

I'll not bee doing that

[Jubal]

Well, it's not something I can compel. I can however look at you disappointedly and sadly for not taking the time to work out my glorious hidden animal jokes.

[Tusky]

Although one must choose carefully what to do with their lifespan, there are plenty of reasons to do such things.

Very well I will.

lol!

armadillo

[Jubal]

I wonder if we will hit some limited of permitted puns per annum. Batches of them are required afresh with every page of this thread!

[Tusky]

Is there even a tool that can count puns?

You better not implement such a thing, or ill absolutely lose it

[Jubal]

I wouldn't want to rush into creating such a thing and have you think I was some kind of kook. A. Burr, a noted American politician and lawyer, once said that "Law is whatever is boldly asserted and plausibly maintained", and your bold assertion that I shouldn't do this has force according to such a maxim.

[Tusky]

That was pretty good

[Jubal]

Thank you! I try and ensure that though my bad puns may cause a mental pain or scar, a calibre most high is nonetheless maintained whereby I try and make them suitably convoluted for the occasion.
