A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack.
"Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday." Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager.
Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral. The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office.
She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral." She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?"
(you're gonna love this)
(its a real treat)
(a masterpiece)
(wait for it)
The bank manager looks back at her and says...
"It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone.
(You're singing it, aren't you? Yeah, I know you are........)

Yes, it is getting rather PUNgent in here!
I guess being really old makes me appreciate true humor, no matter how little, or PUNy.

You see, this is the delusion punsters live under. They actually think puns are funny. How twisted is that? There ought to be a 12 step program or the medical equivalent of Prozac for this kind of condition. Otherwise...they continue to delude themselves. Very sad, very, very sad....

Hey, everyone! Can you just sense the jealousy oozing out of Rose?
That's okay, Rose. Stick around us old codgers a while longer, and you too will begin to have the same allusions (or is it illusions?) of grandeur!

This whole thread is reminding me of quite a few years ago when we were decorating for some meal/event/gathering. . and my sister and I were helping by putting bunches of grapes on the tables. . .we decided that Lutherans must eat. . .are you ready for this?

A Catholic priest and a Lutheran pastor are traveling in the same car, the priest driving, and hit a rabbit. The priest feels awful, stops the car, and puts some Holy water on the rabbit.
The pastor says, "I have something, too, let me try it", pulls a small bottle out of his pocket, and pours some of what is in it on the rabbit. The rabbit springs up, as if he'd never been hit by the car, takes a few hops, turns around, and waves. He takes a few more hops, going away from them, turns around and waves. A few more hops, looks bac, and waves again.
The priest says, "That's incredible, I didn't know you also had Holy water".
The pastor says, "Holy water? Read the label."
He hands the bottle to the priest and it says:
Hair restorer - with permanent wave.
