[Bill S. sent these and wondered if I could use some new puns and word plays for my monthly foray. Every reader of the Grif.Net will say, “Always, Bill, always.”]
I got run over by a rental car.
It Hertz a lot.
Wanted: Roofing Contractor.
Must be truss worthy.
I can't remember how to write 1, 1000, 51, 6 and 500 as Roman Numerals.
IM LIVID.
I bought some new electric garden trimmers.
They’re cutting-hedge technology.
My boss asked me why I only get sick on workdays.
I said it must be my weekend immune system.
I'm going to take up coin collecting.
The change will do me good.
I haven't kept up my Scrabble Club membership.
Now they're sending me threatening letters.
At the grocery store the kid bagging my stuff asked me if I wanted paper or plastic. I told him I didn't care, and he could decide for me.
"No way", he said, "Baggers can't be choosers"
I was confused when my printer started playing music.
Then I realized the paper was jamming.
I was sitting here eating my lunch when I realized cottage cheese is not actually a cheese.
It's just a curd to me.
