Improved Your Pun Ten-fold
(I’m the deputy editor of a paid newspaper and I am answering phones whilst we have a competition where readers have to phone in with their best pun. I receive a call from a customer.)
Me: “Hello, [My Name] speaking; how can I help you?”
Caller: “I’m phoning about the competition in your newspaper.”
Me: “Certainly, sir, what do you wish to enquire?”
Caller: “I hate to say but I have a complaint.”
Me: “That’s perfectly all right, sir. What is your complaint?”
Caller: “Well, I entered your current competition and not expecting many other puns to be entered, I entered ten.”
Me: “Yes, what is the problem, sir?”
Caller: “Well I expected one to win but no pun in-ten did.”
Me: *speechless*
Caller: *maniacal laugh* *click*
