Glinted Puns

After a particularly hot and busy shift one night I walked into the break room where several other staff members were hanging out either on their break or done for the evening. One of them, noticing how sweaty I'd gotten in the heat, asked if I was okay. With a glint in my eye and a devious grin I turned to them and replied:

"just call me mayonnaise..." *confused looks on everyone's faces* "...because I'm egg-sauce-ted"

Having been the only dad in a room full of young folk I'd seen an opportunity I couldn't resist and taken it. I was greeted by a chorus of pained groans as everyone tried to un-hear my god-awful play on words only to discover that it was indelibly etched in their minds, permanently taking up a small piece of otherwise-useful brain space.

Needless to say, it was immensely satisfying. They may not have laughed but I laughed harder than I have in a good while.

Me and a friend came up with 3: “My dick must be out because this fly’s undone” “Hate to be a buzz kill” And “Insect yourself before you wreck yourself”

Yesterday, my boss came in and mentioned that our team in India (with whom I work with quite a bit) would not be working tomorrow. I asked him why and he said, "Well, it's the Indian Independence Day..." then with a glint in his eye he said,

"India-pendence Day"

I told my coworker that I am a senior design major in a lot of drawing classes.

He paused, and with that dad-like glint, he said, "so you could say that you're drawing on your previous classes?"

We shared a moment. It was great.

So we have this regular guy who comes in today, and after making small talk he gets this glint in his eye and asks,

Guy: "Do you know what's in a camel's hump?"
Me: "Water?"
Guy: "Flage."
Me: "What's that?"
Guy: "You've never heard of camel-flage?"

I had to grin stupidly as I groaned, realizing what had just happened.

(No spoilers) For those who haven't seen it, In the new Hobbit movie there is a scene where Tauriel, the female elf helps revive one of the dwarves using some ancient elven magic. Cue my dad leaning over with a glint in his eye, and whispering "I've always been a big fan of the National Elf Service!". He's a doctor and finds these sorts of things hilarious.
