A list of puns related to "Longfellow"
Setup: Sadly this joke was not said by my dad it was said by me. I'm only 18 and I have always been the one in my family to say all the corny jokes.
Anyways my brother was about to leave to go fishing and was talking to my dad and I about what he would bring home if he caught anything. After listing a couple of fish I said "You might as well bring home whatever, just for the halibut."
Then I get "that look" from both my dad and brother. My dad did start to laugh then, but I could hear his disappointment in me.
My mom used to reply to an unintentional rhyme in conversation:
"You're a poet, and you didn't know it!
but your feet show it - because they're LONG ONES."
and then she'd laugh at herself.
Years later I realized the joke is supposed to be "...because they're Longfellows"
