Sympathetic Puns

....do they become a simphony?

Shrugging his shoulders and giving a sympathetic look, he responded: I can't figure her out either.

I'm in the car with my 6yr old daughter and she starts asking me "What does this spell, d-o-g?" I answer, "dog". She congratulates me and asks again. "What does this spell? c-a-t" I say "cat". Again, she congratulates me and I asked her "Ok, what does this spell? I-d-o-n-t-k-n-o-w" She is dumbfounded, but you can see her trying. Shes asks a couple of times for me to repeat the letters. She then finally concedes and sadly says "I don't know." I let out a huge, "THAT'S RIGHT! GOOD JOB!" She started laughing and let out a sympathetic "oh daddy."

A coworker was complaining about nosy people, saying that she was tired of people "buttin' in her business" I sympathetically replied "Yeah, they should really zip it." No laughs were had, only glares.
