Grade I Listed Puns

When I was in the first grade, I was given a list of words that I had to use in different sentences that I made up. The homework assignment was simple enough, but I soon got stuck on the word "poke." I couldn't, for the life of me, think of a way to use that word without changing it to "poking." Being a child with the privilege of having helpful parents, I asked my dad for some assistance.

I asked, "Dad, can you help me think of a sentence with the word 'poke' in it?"

"I like poke chops," he responded.

When my mom and aunt were in high school my aunt brought her new boyfriend over for dinner. She gave him a big list of things he couldn't ask him, "don't ask him about his family, his grades, his hobbies, his job..." So it was a pretty big list. Her boyfriend shows up and my grandpa looks at him and goes "So, have you ever been in prison?"
