Once while we were playing the improv game Song Styles, which is a game where you have to make up a song based on a style of music or in the style of a particular musician about something the audience chooses, I got the following audience suggestions, Jimi Hendrix and NASCAR. Todd, he was our guitar player in addition to being one of the group members, began to play some Hendrixesque music and I sang the following words:
Riding around on a big old race track
in a car painted silver and black,
shifting gears on the fly,
'Scuse me while I pass this guy.
It's important for you to remember that there is no off position on my genius switch. Or my humble switch either.

Quite witty, doctor, quite witty.
I have made the odd pun in a group setting a handful of times that set people into fits of laughter, but the weird thing was the puns I made were often accidental (I remember describing getting into the head of someone who had been arrested on campus for publicly masturbating as 'having to feel the part').
At that point you just have to nod knowingly as if it was all intended.
Oh boy....
No need for off, clearly!
ROFLMAO!!
My hubby was discussing fishing licenses on the phone with his paretns the other day. His father told him that senior citizens get free fishing licenses for life in Georgia, so his mom got one too.
Hubby then says to his father, "so, I guess she can hold your pole for you when you go take a leak in the woods."
Then his mother says "and I'll be legal too".
They never got it but hubby and I laughed our asses off!
Truly, you are my Boswell.
One of the pricelessly funny moments for me was when we were supposed to in ancient Egypt. You went out first and seemed so proud of your ability to be the slavedriver who could name any number of tribes, Memshites, etc.
I came out behind you and yelled, "Whip those slaves harder!" Your cowering frame and beleagured facial expression sent me into a paroxysm of laughter from which I could not recover. The whole scene fell apart, but it was worth.
Comedy gold!!! Comedy gold!!!
