EDITOR@WORK: I love puns

FOUND ON FACEBOOK: Don't touch YOURSELF; ask the staff; thank you.

That was a sign that a store proprietor displayed. He/she obviously meant for a shopper to ask before touching anything, but it came out wrong.

ALSO FOUND ON FACEBOOK: A chicken crossing the road is poultry in motion.

I love puns.

AND ANOTHER PUN FROM FB: If attacked by a mob of clowns, go for the juggler.

I TOOK THIS PHOTO OF THE GEESE AT
THE POND AT THE LOCAL CEMETERY.

Found online: With the draft fast approaching, many fans and media exports alike are thinking about the new possible players that might entice our fan base.

I hope they meant media experts. Nothing else makes sense.

Also found online: This alarming site is often made more dramatic...

Going by context, I assume they meant sight, not site.

I love puns: I got a job at a bakery because I kneaded dough.
