My dumb ass pronouncing it “onionized” when I read it.
Must be a gardener then
Or a cook.
ONYO!
A while back I thought of a (much less clever) joke that only works in text:
Do you know how hard it is to get an authentic French baguette around here?
It’s a real pain!
Change it to “A real pain” without the “it’s”?
Isn’t it because it’s pronounced “pan”?
Not because of the pronunciation, because of the grammar. For the pun to work, it has to be read both ways.
So, how hard is it to find a French baguette? “A real pain,” i.e. a drag, indicating difficulty. Or else, “A real pain,” i.e. emphasising the genuine nature of the bread we want – this interpretation fails if preceded by “It’s”.
I… don’t get it.
Bread in French is “pain”
It is French for bread.
Quite good, wish it didn’t include the last comment below as it’s a pretty big hint.
My personal version of this, since the Republicans always call themselves the party of Abe Lincoln I spent the entirety of Bidens presidency trying to get a get joke setup for why do the Republicans call themselves the party of A. Blinken referencing Bidens secretary of state. But this doesn’t work audibly in any way.
They didn’t say “Abe Lincoln”, they said “Hey Blinken”.
Master Robin! You lost your arms in battle! How terrible, but you great some nice boobs.
A. Blinken
Also the name of his band.
I get that chemists are concerned with the ionization of things, but what do plumbers have with unions and unionisation? Are they famous for that? Or do not get something else?
all kinds of tradespeople are often in unions, or at least more often than for example white-collar workers
Ununionionized
Ionizing the union right out of it!
1.25 gpa here. That joke required searches on my part. I’m 48-ish now. If you cold ask me how to reduce a chemical equation, I’m going to say, “turn the Bunsen burner down to low”.
you can tell it verbally just pronounce it the way you think the other person would and watch for the reaction on their face when they get it
*orally.
Text is still verbal.
Except no, it’s not.
I think it’s actually the other way around.
E.g. oral history can still be written or recorded (audio or video).
Hey I got that right away! Am I smart? :o)
Yes, you are. And now stop scrolling and unclog my toilet.
