Or am I just Skating on thin ice? I have heard people say puns are the lowest form of wit, but I might have been Herring things. I'll be back in a Whale to see if this thread is a Ray of sunshine or complete pollocks.

TrillianAstra · 30/05/2010 12:28

YABU - you don't announce a pun in advance!

But here's a challenge - get barracuda into a sentence!

honeydragon · 30/05/2010 12:39

I like barracuda

ta daa!

(I don't think that's what you had in mind is it?)

SweetDreamerGirl · 30/05/2010 12:39

I hake silly threads like this

SweetDreamerGirl · 30/05/2010 13:09

Sorry dar-lings, perhaps my previous comment was a bit too wolf-fish?

Psammead · 30/05/2010 13:10

What a load of codswallop!

I shell intervene with a musical interlude:

when you're diving at night,
and your feet feel the bite,
that's a moray

when he bites on your thumb,
takes a chunk of your bum,
that's a moray

When a fish bites your eye,
Hurts like hell then you die
That's a moray!

scuzza me, but you see,
let them be, or you'll see
lotsa morays......

fightingtheLA · 30/05/2010 13:16

I think this thread is floundering a bit now!

honeydragon · 30/05/2010 13:45

flabbyribs · 30/05/2010 13:59

There are too many answers to this I feel squashed in like a tin of sardines. I am starting to get REALLY crabby now and going off to sing my own tunas.

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 30/05/2010 23:00

Well bass my sole, I am not going to shark my responsibility to add some more puns to char you up on this bank holiday weekend. I would never have bream-ed that someone would come up with such a jolly thread.

ManicMother7777 · 31/05/2010 18:48

OK OK for cod's sake I know that's carp.
