Welcome to Punday Monday!
If you’re new here, pull up a stool, order a pun-t, and get to know some of the regulars! I’m your puntender, @improv.
You can jump in any time, and if you aren’t sure how to make a pun, here’s a handy dandy guide:

If you’re an oldtimer, welcome back! Get to know some of the whippersnappers, here, we have a craft brew for you, idiomatic with hints of philosophy. Kind of cliche, but very smooth. On the house:

Another big week with many puns! Huzzah! Go read them all! It’s never past payout for a laugh attack.
And what prizes do they win, you ask?
Why, as usual, all the punsters got full strength upvotes on their submissions. (WORTH $0.02! So much value!)
Our category winners will each get to choose a post (of their own or someone else's) and I will give that post a fully powered upvote and a @tipu tip!
And, guess what? I want to give away even more, SO ALL CATEGORY WINNERS get big, exciting SBI prizes!
(@ablaze, yours will come from @freedomshift!)
This week's pun topic is...
Birthday
By the time this week’s puns are judged, I will have had my birthday, so tell me birthday puns!
As in,
How do they decorate the cake in a post-apocalyptic wasteland? Can, duh!
Bada-bing! You been punned. Because Can, duh, sounds like candle, which is what you usually use to decorate a cake, and in my post-apocalyptic worlds, canned food is used as currency and/or the empty cans are just around, and would therefore be available for decorating cakes.
Perfect,
I'm so good at puns....
If you've never punned before, it might seem like magic! You can do it, too! Learn how in My Free How-To Guide on Punning!
Who do I nominate for @comedyopenmic’s comedy challenge?
Everyone participating in this week’s Punday! I’m judging the competition this week, so can't win myself, but you can. SO GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL. I'm looking at you, @dollarsandsense, @ablaze, and @bananamemos and also at all the rest of you.
