This link will take you to a piece of humor (thoughtful, not laughable) that embodies many of my thoughts about work.

A college roommate told me that Oliver Wendell Holmes said, "The pun is the essence of the decaying mind."   I am trying to verify the truth of that.

PunLiners:   Once upon a time, I had a list of 80-90 punch lines from shaggy dog stories.   Alas, that list is filed someplace where my heirs will have to deal with it.   Meanwhile, here are a few that I remember. If you need a story to go with the punchline, drop an e-mail to puns.  
Song Titles:   Pardon me, Roy. Is that the cat that chewed your new shoes?
I left my harp in Sam Clam's disco.
Tarzan stripes forever.
Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear.
Proverbs and Other Sayings:   Don't hatchet your counts before they chicken.
Oppor-nockety tunes but once.
A stolen roan gathers no moths.
It's a knick-knack, PaddyWack, give the frog a loan.
Also known as...
It's a knick-knack, PaddyWack, give the frog a loan; his old man's a Rolling Stone.
People who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones.
Barefoot boy with teaks of Chan.
The koala tea of Mercy is not strained.
I'm a prawn again, Christian.
Silly Rabbi, trids are for kicks
That's the beer that made Milt Famey walk us.
Transportation of gulls across a staid lion for immortal porpoises.
A day without puns is like a day without sunshine -- there's gloom for improvement.
