Just For Fun

We have fun here at AIAO. We have fun out there during our programming, of course – but we also have fun here in the office. We’ve decided to capture some of our special moments and catalog them here in our Just For Fun blog.

 

 

 

 

James is a man who loves puns. He loves reading, he loves rhyming, he loves the english language. He told me that for as long as he remembers he’s been coming up with clever wordplay.  “Puns – the poor man’s poetry” he says.

There’s a playful element to puns that James brings all of the things he does. He finds a way to finagle puns into his facilitation style, his every day conversation, and even his debriefs. Like with all puns, sometimes they make us giggle with glee, and sometimes… well… sometimes, it’s just plain punishment. What did we do to deserve this James? Why are you so whimsically witty? How do you come up with them so quickly?

For most of us, it’s not so bad at all. I tend to enjoy them more often than not (mostly because I can’t come up with a pun to save my life and I’m always so impressed.) But when we ask the question “Pun or punishment?” There is one among us who will almost alway say punishment – not always out loud… but we can tell.

So, as the puns roll along we’ll share them with you, and we’ll continue to ask this question: Pun or Punishment – What do you say Kyle?

We had just gone on our afternoon nature walk. It had been drizzling, and the overcast made it seem like it was dusk. James was looking at apple on the ground, and what appeared to be the feeding sign of a rodent. He started to have an epiphany: “Rodent… I never thought about this, but perhaps the ‘dent’ in rodent refers to their prominent incisors. I wonder what the ‘ro’ stands for.”
