Blackout Puns

The difference between them and my old ones is like night and day.

(My wife just bought us some yesterday, I sent her this via text and she sent me an eye roll emoji)

Silence of the lamps.

They were prone to rolling blackouts.

Me: I got drunk last night and had a blackout.

Friend: OMG, are you ok?

Me: Yeah, but the mosquito that bit me and the electric company aren’t though.

I'm a teacher, and due to recent storms we've had a few short-lived blackouts.

Today in class the electricity was being fixed by the company and they had to shut the lights off for a few minutes.

Secretary (comes in the room): were there any problems with the lights off?

Me (I've got this, I'm ready!): No, we were delighted.

The secretary left, paused outside and then came back in with the worst glare possible. Yes!!!

Thank you guys, I was prepared.

Edit: Front page!!! Awesome! This is the highlight of my day! Keep your puns coming, I love them all (and I'm secretly practicing them for the proper opportunity).

Thank you so much /user/x9x9x9x9x9 for the gold! It made everything that much better.

Keep your puns coming you guys (especially teachers!).

Me, to my dad, regarding potential blackouts in the SF Bay Area: Are any blackouts planned for your neighborhood?

My dad, to me: Probably, but we are in the dark about it.

But I was told I couldn't because it is a blackout day.
