There's a guy at my work who is the king of bad puns. After working here a while, I realized I really love a bad pun. I think it stems at least a little from the elephant man affect. Anyway, wanted to share this hipchat pun gold with all of you. For context I'm a QA Engineer:

Devin Just had another tire go flat on way in - calling aaa be there asap. 3rd one in 4 months ! 9:42 AM
Devin You could say youre tire-d of it? 10:26 AM
Matthew @Devin funny guy. 10:52 AM
Danny @Devin that was a good one. I wonder how long you've been holding onto that one. (laughcry) 1:55 PM
Matthew Since about a month ago when I had to replace the last one I assume 👌 1:57 PM
Devin @Danny The tire joke just popped into my head. Im glad you liked that one, I was afraid it fell flat. 1:57 PM
Adrian You guys are still re-treading this 3 hours later? 2:02 PM
Devin Im glad you're doing your job and being testy over this ;) 2:03 PM
Adrian I just couldn't let these bad puns pass. 2:06 PM
Devin Hahaha! Now youre getting it (challengeaccepted) 2:09 PM
Adrian My inflated sense of ego wouldn't let me keep quiet. 2:10 PM
Chris Alright enough... You guys are kinda putting a wrench in my spokes 2:28 PM
Adrian Sorry to get you all jacked up and then twist your lugnuts 2:33 PM
Devin lets all get back on track and stop veering off the road 2:35 PM
Adrian I don't know, this conversation was an accident waiting to happen

This is our MVP performance. We haven't gotten anywhere close since. But we still have our moments.

Mikey, where are you? And Ellimae. If you could get some traction, you would be off to the races with this one.

You would just love some of the pun chains on Reddit.

I'm a big fan of puns too; Isaac Asimov helped cultivate this taste in young me.

One of Asimov's many short stories was called Shah Guido G. It was a fair enough story, which ended with a miserable pun. Asimov waited. Some years later, a person complained that the entire story was just a shaggy dog for that lame joke. Asimov then pointed out the title could be rearranged to Shahgui Dog.

My own personal favorite pun that I've come up with on the spot. Someone invited me to a noon potluck on a ranch with a Llama farm. I replied, "Alpaca lunch."

Let's hear your groaniest!
