Some "educated puns" for your Holiday
In honor of the 4th of July weekend, I thought I would treat” you to some humor. Now please understand that what I call humor may not be the same as what you consider humorous, but at least try and have a little compassion on me and my lack of humor disability.
All my life I have loved puns. A pun is defined as a humorous use of words that involves a word or phrase that has more than one possible meaning. Following is a list of puns for educated minds”. So, if you consider your mind educated” you should love these.

Now, I don’t know if you enjoyed any of these, but every time I see # 8, I crack up laughing. I think that is one of the most incredible puns I have ever seen, and I have seen/heard a lot.
Humor is good for the soul for God designed us to be able to laugh for good reasons. None of the other animals God made can laugh, including the Hyena, but we can. The challenge is to find something worth laughing at and to allow ourselves to laugh when we would rather be sulking, pouting or having a pity party.
There is a reason in days gone by that Kings had jesters” to entertain them on a regular basis. With all the pressures attached to being a king, they needed to laugh once in awhile in order to keep the pressure from crushing them. We should take a lesson from those kings and have our own jesters available to us. Whether some late night comedian or a buddy you can call or e-mail; it is very beneficial to have someone around who can make you laugh.
Although I am probably not going to get too many jobs as a jester, I still try once in awhile to bring a smile to the faces of those who are going through some tough times. I pray that these 24 puns caused at least a chuckle or a groan in whoever needed such a thing today. Have a joyous 4th of July weekend and see you again Monday morning.
