Midweek Fun Puns

For a quick midweek break, here are some really bad puns for your enjoyment. None are original! Don’t blame me.

A chicken and an egg go into a restaurant. The waitress asked, “Which of you is first?”

To the guy who invented zero, thanks for nothing.

Dogs can’t operate MRI machines. But catscan.

What kind of concert only costs 45 cents? A 50 Cent concert featuring Nickelback.

Geology rocks but geography is where it’s at!

Had to close my health clinic. I didn’t have enough patience.

What do you call a camel with no humps? Humphrey.

Can February March? No, but April May.

How do trees feel in the Spring? Releaved.

Did you hear about the restaurant on the moon? I heard the food was good but it had no atmosphere.

So what if I don’t know what “apocalypse” means? It’s not the end of the world!

I’m delighted! Somebody just broke into my apartment and stole every lamp, flashlight, and lightbulb.

Today is President’s Day in the U.S. Originally established in 1885 as a recognition of George Washington’s birthday (February 22), it was later expanded to include Abraham Lincoln (February 12) and all other U.S. presidents. Over the centuries, there have been some amusing statements by various U.S. presidents. While you read them, think of how you might work humor into your nonfiction or your …

Blog Posts I Decided Not to Write

Since 2013, when I wrote my first blog post for this agency, I’ve covered a lot of different topics and issues, sometimes repeating some themes that I felt important. But overall, I sought to be an “encouraging realist” when it comes to book publishing. I also make it a habit to plan posts well into the future, so I have my schedule drafted through early 2026, which could either be viewed with a …

The Goofy English Language

I stumbled over this poem about odd plurals in the English language. There was no attribution. If you know who wrote it, please let me know so I can give proper credit. Very clever! We’ll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes, But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes. One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, Yet the plural of moose should never be meese. You may find a lone mouse or a …

Today the U.S. celebrates Labor Day as a national  holiday. Eight years ago I posted the below video on Labor Day and asked readers to think of ways this bear’s activity is a metaphor for the writing life. For life in general. Or write a 100-word short story about what you saw. I’ve left the creativity of those comments below. Add yours to the mix! Enjoy!

Do You Tsundoku?

You may have heard of the numerical Sudoku game, but I play a much better game. And a lot more fun. Tsundoku. Do you tsundoku? That may be unfair, so let me have the Cambridge online dictionary give you the definition: The practice of buying a lot of books and keeping them in a pile because you intend to read them but have not done so yet; also used to refer to the pile itself. Until I recently …

In 1999, Chronicle Books published the first in a series of rather unique books, The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook; and it sold ten million copies, launching a multimedia franchise. Over a dozen books followed, as well as games, TV series, and other merchandise. Authors Joshua Piven and David Borgenicht built the books around extreme, need-based topics, like how to jump from a moving train …

Pet peeves. We all have them, and we all do things that are pet peeves for others. How about starting a blog post with a two-word sentence, which isn’t a sentence? Anyone? Bueller? My Pet Peeves On one hand, I am like everyone else. I don’t like repetitive tapping or spam phone calls late at night. Those are the easy ones. I am also incredibly annoyed by bicyclists who never, ever observe any kind …
