go for the juggler.
Murder
A squiggle of squirrels!
A no-fly zone!
Let me know if you wanna take a quick gander
They gaggle it.
"Dad, it's not a flock of cows."
"OK, a pride of cows then"
"Not that either, why are you so lame?"
"I dunno, a gaggle of cows?"
"Dad, it's a herd of cows. Herd of cows!"
"Course I've heard of cows. Look at that gaggle over there"
Was much harder work than expected.
We were all sitting on our back porch when a group or gaggle of geese flew by. We all said how weird it was that they fly like that. He said:
"Do you know why one side of the flying V is longer than the other?"
We all guessed a few things but no one actually knew. He grew that gay little old man smile on his face and said:
"Because there are more birds on that side"
What an evil man
Last night i got on twitter, one teacher from a gaggle I follow is talking about Peter Pan and tossing out pun after pun. Another teacher just asked "Can we make him stop?"
I replied, "When d'he start?"
Then another teacher jumped in with "Wendy do you think?"
Huh? I scratched my head. Was my unusual spelling so odd that it wasn't clear what i was going for? She got it enough to use THE SAME PUN in the SAME way.
And then her comment got favorites and 'attagirls'.
So questions: 1) which phrasing was better for the pun?
- If the second is better, is it still better immediately following the first?
Talking with my wife and daughter about the weird names for groups of things. A group of geese is a gaggle. A group of crows is a murder. A group of whales is a pod.
Wife: I wonder what a group of dolphins is called.
Daughter: How about killer whales?
Me: An orchestra?
Wife: Ugh.
