ALUS Puns

Icarus and Daedalus, after building wings of wax and feathers, took to the skies to escape the labyrinth of the Minoans. But, as the story goes, Icarus flew too close to the sun, and his wings melted.

As he dropped from the sky, Icarus said what any sane mortal would: "Help, I'm falling!"

Daedalus turned to his son, and before he could catch him, he uttered "Nice to meet you falling. I'm Dad-alus."

I saw that my husband had gotten a cut while shaving, and I asked what happened. He explained, "I got a new razor and flew too close to the sun."

My reply: "So you got a nick-arus?"

He was upset.
