lover of words – Jean's Writing

Then you might be a LEXOPHILE (LOVER OF WORDS.)

I love StumbleUpon. Never know what I’ll find when I push that orange button.

My latest find is LEXOPHILES (LOVERS OF WORDS.)

I smiled as I read through the list of puns and wordplay. Wish I were this imaginative. Of course, I’ve my husband and grandchildren to keep me in the pun game. They a never at a loss for a few.

Of the 46 listed, these are my 10 favorites.

#4. A backward poet writes inverse.
#13. You are stuck with your debt if you can’t budge it.
#17. A lot of money is tainted: ‘Taint yours, and ‘taint mine.
#21. The short fortune-teller who escaped from prison: a small medium at large.
#24. If you jump off a Paris bridge, you are in Seine.
29. Marathon runners with bad shoes suffer the agony of de feet.
#32. She was only a whiskey-maker, but he loved her still.
#38. A hole has been found in the nudist camp wall. The police are looking into it.
#41. I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me.
#45. When cannibals ate a missionary, they got a taste of religion.
