Nada - no one chose a winner, so no winner is chosen!

Ugh, I can’t make up my mind!

@fishyculture! I cannot resist a bada-bing! I’ll pay you more than dust, so it’s fair fare for fairy faire fare.

And what prizes do they win, you ask?

Why, as usual, all the punsters got full strength upvotes on their submissions.

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!

This week's pun topic is...

Cloud! (just like @freewritehouse’s freewrite topic today!)

As in,
A bunch of clouds walk into the bar. The bartender, amazed and appalled (since clouds are notoriously bad tippers, especially considering all their silver linings) exclaims, “you can’t be cirrus!”
Bada-bing! You been Punned! You see, it’s funny because he’s so surprised and upset you might expect him to exclaim, “you can’t be serious!” but since he’s also amazed that Cirrus clouds would be so close to the ground, he’s incredulous about their cloud type, cirrus, which is a type of cloud, you know?

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!
