Shed Light On Puns

on the importance of saving energy.

I heard my son mutter something to himself as he turned the light on in another room. I asked him what he said.

"I said, 'Let me shed some light on things.' "

That's a classic that I use every chance I get. I'm so proud!

Perhaps they can shed some light on what it's like there

One of them was talking about some drama with her boyfriend and she says, "I just hate being in the dark". Without missing a beat, I point at a lamp and say "Well maybe you should sit under that lamp. Maybe it will shed some light on your situation."

I no longer have any friends.

My dad has been making the same joke for 20+ years.

Every time I am reading and the light nearest to where I am sitting is not on, my dad sees his golden opportunity.

Without fail he will walk over, turn on the light, and say, "Why don't you shed a little light on the subject." Every. Time. He doesn't even need a response, just walks away chuckling.
