In the days following the parties, when revelers were asked about bruises, limps, hangovers, and charges of indecent behaviour, the shorthand response of Pwll y Bonwr (“The Gentleman’s Pool”) brought knowing smiles. The invading Anglo-Saxons found the expression irresistible and adopted it as “pull a boner”; but being contemptuous of the conquered natives, invented stories such as Marina’s to disguise the phrase’s Welsh origin. <img src="http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_mrgreen.gif" title=":mrgreen:" class="bb_smilies" /> leonard on "'Pun my word" http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/pun-my-word/page/2#post-8472 Sat, 16 May 2009 20:47:57 +0000 leonard 8472@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ Surge on with current berries and washed with general p(L)ractice...crested flycatcher{{{..orthopterous..]]] a pun of ton-sun with fun and small low stool=boo? or croak Evan Owen on "'Pun my word" http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/pun-my-word/page/2#post-8471 Sat, 16 May 2009 17:36:10 +0000 Evan Owen 8471@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ Irreverent Irish: Erin go bragh: Ireland likes to boast.

Sounds like a National Lampoon joke… Sorta. pennsyltucky9 replied on May 2nd, 2008 5:16 pm: No. Wait, I know the one. The National Lampoon joke you’re thinking of is: “In 1926, when the last great cattle drive had nearly reached the New Orleans railway depot, the trail boss found to his dismay that the cattle could not be driven to the loading point because the street was blocked by a Dixieland band. I seemed that “Lame Melon” McKinley, the noted clarinetist (or “licorice stickster” as they are called in the jazz argot) had just snuffed it, and his fellow musicians were bearing his remains to the cemetery while they played “St. James Infirmary,” “St. Louis Woman,” and “When the Saints Come Marching In.” All too aware that the last train to Chicago was due to leave within the hour, the trail boss (or head drover, as he was referred to in cowboy parlance) approached the bandleader and asked if he might interrupt the funeral to drive the cattle through to the other side of the street. The bandleader replied, “‘Fraid not, boss. This here’s a solemn occasion and we don’t want those cattle muckin’ about!” Not easily put off, the trail boss offered the bandleader money, a gold watch, hand-tooled Mexican boots, and even his autographed photo of Bob Steele if he might be allowed to drive the herd across the street but the man could not be swayed. Finally, the trail boss said, “Listen. I know all you jazz musicians are into drugs. Now, packed away in my saddlebags are every narcotic you’ve ever heard of: smack, snow, redbirds, yellowjackets, angel dust, DPT, THC, STP, black gungi, the works! I’ll give you the entire stash if you’ll tell your musicians to step aside and let me get my cattle to the depot.”  The bandleader shook his head and replied, “I’m sorry, but I got an ample supply of those there already and you’ll just have to cool your heels until we’re done here.” The trail boss played his final card. “Hold on half a sec, brother,” he persisted. “I’ve got something you don’t have, something you never even dreamt existed! I’ve got (and he paused here for emphasis) MARIJUANA SUPPOSITORIES! Yes, you heard me right! Marijuana suppositories! Shove one of these little babies up your ass and you’ll be high for a week! I’ll give you a dozen if you let us pass.” The bandleader fell silent for many moments. At last he spoke.  “Shee-it! Marijuana suppositories! Don’t that beat all! That’s the wildest thing I ever heard of! Mister, you got yourself a deal!”  The trail boss quickly unpacked his saddlebags, removed twelve suppositories and gave them to the bandleader, who instructed his musicians to step aside and let the cattle through, which they did, allowing them to be driven to the depot, arriving just in time to be shipped to Chicago (or the “WindyCity” as it is known in meteorological circles). Moral: “A herd in the band is worth boo in the tush.” pennsyltucky9 on "'Pun my word" http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/pun-my-word/page/2#post-8462 Fri, 15 May 2009 11:12:35 +0000 pennsyltucky9 8462@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ I just had to post this one, but it's not really mine.
