A good pun is like bread.

It always rises to the occasion.

My dad just got me good.

My husband has been making a lot of pizza lately. He ferments the dough and I have been naming each batch with a pun. The current batch is Yeast Lightning. I texted my dad and asked him to help me think of some new names. He texted back "Just rise to the occasion."

We had schawarma last night.

My daughter said she ate too much and felafel. My son asked which pita was the one Katniss was marrying. I was glad he could rise to the occasion with a bread joke. It was the yeast he could do.

Had a conversation with my buddy about the Eli movie on Netflix, I think I did it right (Spoiler warning)

Buddy: Wait, so their idea was, "Your son is the devil, we can fix that with a bone marrow transplant and a virus?"

Me: No, I think they were lying about the retrovirus and just putting holy water and stuff into the marrow to exorcise him. That is my guess because they were just nuns, not real doctors.

Buddy: But, when he was freaking out at the end didn't the nurse say, "The gene therapy would have worked, but he was just too strong!"

Me: Oh yeah, maybe they had some of Jesus's DNA. So, instead of the CRISPR gene they use the CHRISTR gene....

I got an eye roll! No kids yet, but at least I know I can rise to the occasion.

The lone Subway worker was too busy today and ran out of buns, so there was only flatbread left*

He didn't rise to the occasion

The police recently arrested the notorious bread shop robber

When asked why he did it, he said, "They have a lot of dough".

Police officers responded to praise for their arrest, "We always want to rise to the occasion. It's the yeast we can do".

Dadjoked the wife while she was painting

Wife was painting the kitchen, commenting that she was a little uncomfortable on the ladder trying to reach such high points of the wall.

"Don't worry," I said, "I'm sure you'll rise to the occasion."

She just stared at me blankly while I laughed and laughed.
