Puns Are A Dish Best Served Cold

(I went out for ice cream with friends late the night before and am now texting my boyfriend the following morning.)

Boyfriend: “How are you today? No, hangovers from the ice cream?”

Me: “Nope. I handle my ice cream quite well, but I am a bit sleepy.”

Boyfriend: “Now for ice cream, it’s a ‘rocky road’ for you when you don’t get enough sleep and consume too much ice cream.”

Me: “Oh! Ice cream puns. If only I could come up with some.”

Boyfriend: “Well, I did “ice” that pun, to “cone” a phrase.”

Me: “I was already ‘sweet’ deprived before last night anyway.”

Boyfriend: “See, puns are something that can be ‘scooped’ up in a few minutes.”

Me: “And then ‘sprinkled’ throughout conversation.”

Boyfriend: “While ‘chilling out’ and our minds ‘consume’ the knowledge.”

Me: “Otherwise we’d all go ‘nuts.'”
