Pithing Puns

Talk about taking the pith.

It tasted like pith.

So my dad and I are trying a pomelo for the first time. He's cutting the peel off and it's quite thick. I ask:

"What's that kind of, fluffy white stuff on the inside of the peel called."

"It's called the pith." He responds

"Oh ok."

"Oh pith off!"

We stare at each other and just burst out laughing.

Good times.

a hunter stabbed a gator behind his head with a knife. my dad said, "you know what they call that? a pith. and if he does it wrong, he'll really pith that gator off."

completely straight-faced, didn't even chuckle at his own joke. maybe one day I'll be that much of a natural.
