The Manor Puns

A wealthy man who occasionally dabbled in black-market affairs was strolling through town one day. One of his associates came running up to him with some bad news. "Sir, the shipment from Singapore is late" his associate said. "DO NOT talk to me about these affairs in public you fool!" the wealthy man blurted back. "My apologies, sir. Would you prefer to discuss this in your home?" his associate replied. The wealthy man responded "Yes, please speak to me in the manor to which I'm accustomed."

So last night we were watching the first X-Men. When Wolverine first wakes up in the manor and is trying to escape, the elevator door opens and I say "hey look, he found the X-it.". Groans and eyerollings all around.
