Twenty years ago I was at my sister-in-law's house for a New Years Eve party and got blasted by doing a combo of tequila and gin shots. They packed me away into a tiny side room (it was like a 125 year old house) with no heat and no blankets and left me to pass out. At some point I figured out I was freezing to death so I guess I ripped the curtains down and rolled up into them. Then I puked. A lot. In the morning I was the meat in a puke burrito.
LOL one night after a party where a lot of people pretty much passed out, I woke up to just barely in time to stop my friend who was about to pee in the closet.
I went into a Hardee's bathroom one night as a drunk teenager and peed in their sink.
It's amazing the things that trigger our memories sometimes.
the meat in a puke burrito.
glorious xD
My dumb ass pronouncing it "onionized" when I read it.
Must be a gardener then
Or a cook.
ONYO!
Mmmm tasty
geez, i just thought you answered yourself. who took the avatar from whom here???
I think that's not really as useful here though. Your position can be assumed just by being here.
1.25 gpa here. That joke required searches on my part. I'm 48-ish now. If you cold ask me how to reduce a chemical equation, I'm going to say, "turn the Bunsen burner down to low".
A while back I thought of a (much less clever) joke that only works in text:
Do you know how hard it is to get an authentic French baguette around here?
It's a real pain!
Change it to "A real pain" without the "it's"?
Isn't it because it's pronounced "pan"?
Not because of the pronunciation, because of the grammar. For the pun to work, it has to be read both ways.
So, how hard is it to find a French baguette? "A real pain," i.e. a drag, indicating difficulty. Or else, "A real pain," i.e. emphasising the genuine nature of the bread we want -- this interpretation fails if preceded by "It's".
I..... don't get it.
It is French for bread.
Bread in French is "pain"
you can tell it verbally just pronounce it the way you think the other person would and watch for the reaction on their face when they get it
My personal version of this, since the Republicans always call themselves the party of Abe Lincoln I spent the entirety of Bidens presidency trying to get a get joke setup for why do the Republicans call themselves the party of A. Blinken referencing Bidens secretary of state. But this doesn't work audibly in any way.
They didn't say "Abe Lincoln", they said "Hey Blinken".
Master Robin! You lost your arms in battle! How terrible, but you great some nice boobs.
A. Blinken
Also the name of his band.
I get that chemists are concerned with the ionization of things, but what do plumbers have with unions and unionisation? Are they famous for that? Or do not get something else?
all kinds of tradespeople are often in unions, or at least more often than for example white-collar workers
Quite good, wish it didn't include the last comment below as it's a pretty big hint.
Yeah. I was like, if you don’t get it from the second comment you’re just not gonna get it.
EDIT: I was pretending to get it but I get it now and I guess the last comment is trolling?
How is the last comment trolling? How would you tell this joke verbally?
Ah I was thinking no way to tell why it’s funny verbally
hyphen is your friend
Ununionionized
Ionizing the union right out of it!
Hey I got that right away! Am I smart? :o)
Yes, you are. And now stop scrolling and unclog my toilet.
