Hey @freewritehouse #freewrite freewriters and #Punday Monday Punsters!

It’s me, @improv, here to announce your nominees for Best Pun of the first year on Punday Monday!

First, the evidence that promises have been fulfilled!

Last week marked the one year anniversary of Punday Monday, so we’re having an extra big awards event. We asked you to comb through the Punday archives to find the most deserving winners of some extra big prizes. Five of you followed instructions, and you and the punster you nominated each received a @steembasicincome share! Congrats to @acolucky for getting 2! (one for a pun and one for nominating another punster!

Here are the nominees:

@acolucky for When taking the bus, sometimes Rosa drives, and sometimes Rosa Parks. Nominated by @marcoriccardi
@doctorcrypto for Now that the baby has moved in with you guys, I guess that means he no longer gets womb service. Nominated by @acolucky
@paul.atreides for Instead of a GI joe, I asked my parents for a little brother to play with as a Christmas present. Alas, they told me the whole idea was INCONCEIVABLE. Nominated by @wonderwop
@fishyculture for The deaf woman walked into the tattoo shop and asked for their artist who worked with the hearing impaired. The receptionist gave her a blank stare. The disappointed woman turned to leave, saying "My friends told me I could come here and get my lips red!" Bada-bing - Ya' been punned. It is funny because the deaf woman wanted her lips read, but the tattoo artists could only offer red lips. Tragic, really… Nominated by @aislingcronin
and
@ddschteinn for Mr. Johnson took his cat Pickles to the beach in Fort Lauderdale for two weeks at Christmas last year. Pickles really enjoyed the ocean. Cavorting in the waves, chasing the shore birds, picking up dead fish and things, running full speed at the water's edge, and finally leaping and shaking sand all over the oily sun-bather's in their chaise lounges.
You can imagine how surprised Mrs. Johnson was when her husband and Pickles pulled up into the driveway back home a week earlier than originally planned. "You two aren't supposed to be home for another week. What on earth happened?"
To which Mr. Johnson replied, in a rather terse voice, "I never DID believe in Sandy Claws." Nominated by @mariannewest

Congrats to our nominees!
