Despair Puns

He is best known for the quote:
“Look on my worms, ye Mighty, and despair!”

They are always carrying despair.

One evening Jake stole Joke’s bag and hid it just at the edge of a forest nearby. Next morning he told him what he had done and to be careful not to go far into the forest since it’s riddled with bears once you go into the deep forest part and you are sure to get eaten.

Since Joke didn’t return for a long period of time, Jake went looking for him. However, he couldn’t find his friend. Jake, feeling remorse, called the police and told them what had happened.

Unfortunately, the police were no help and the case started to gain traction with the media. Reporters from all the nearby villages wanted to be the one to crack the case and find Joke.

Jake slowly spiraled into despair, not knowing what happened, thinking he killed his friend and all he wanted was some answers, buying all the local newspapers every day hoping to read something new and gain some answers.

Day after day the event slowly slipped out of his mind as time went by with no new information whatsoever. Until one day, Jake decided to put this whole thing behind him and found a therapist to help him move on.

The therapy was a huge success, he completed all but one meetings and he had just one more to go. He arrived on time as always, but the therapist’s office was locked this time. Jake checked his mobile phone and he saw a message from his therapist that he’s gonna be a few minutes late and that he should sit down in the waiting room, relax, and wait for him.

Jake, as any reasonable person, sat down in the waiting room and started waiting. It was at this moment that his phone battery ran out and he became bored, very bored, so he picked up a random newspaper from the table in front of him and then he saw it, the headline he was waiting for for so long:

Joke gone too far.

Because they are always up to something

so he opened the trunk and pulled out despair.

So we were watching Grand Designs and talking about houses and such and the show was telling us about the bathroom.

Me: Oh look they're gonna put in a bidet.

Dad: I don't know why people put them in.

Me: Ah come on! You haven't lived until you've used one of them.

Dad: Yeah, that'll be bidet.

Boyfriend was on FaceTime telling me about how he was going downhill biking tomorrow, and I told him "Please try not to break." (he's been having shoulder problems lately so I was referring to that.) His response: Oh I will, probably around every corner. winks He died laughing as I shook my head in despair...
