Fun Pun
I did not go outside the walls of the ashram building today. It doesn’t mean I was confined, as in
prison. I was joyfully locked in with
service – and service of a different kind.
I’m speaking about theatre. The
dramas! The directing! The performance! I put several hours into our practice of the
drama, Little Big Ramayan. Doing “plays”
is a marvelous creative outlet. And it’s
approved (rather, receives blessings) by the previous acharyas or teachers in the line of devotion. In fact, our guru, Srila Prabhupada, loved
dramas that have a spiritual message. He
went so far as to say that the play is better than the book. He loved the theatre and even acted when as a
student in his college years, he played the role of Adwaita, a close associate
of Sri Chaitanya, father of kirtan in
the modern age. Our guru also liked
Charlie Chaplin. He would not go out of
his way to the cinema, mind you, he wouldn’t have anything to do with extreme
mundane entertainment. Once, on the
plane, he had a few chuckles watching the guy with the funny stick, hat and
moustache.
Now, speaking of fun, what about pun? Someone sent me from a facebook source, a
list of puns called, “Punography”.
Here’s are some real dillies:
I tried to catch
some, I mist.
A guy I know is
addicted to brake fluid. He said he can
stop any time.
How does Moses make
his tea? Hebrews it.
I stayed up all
night to see where the sun went, then it dawned on me.
The girl said she
recognized me from the vegetarian club, but I never met herbivore.
I’m reading a book
about antigravity. I can’t put it down.
I didn’t like my
beard at first, then it grew on me.
How do you make
holy water? Boil the hell out of it.
When you get a
bladder infection, urine trouble.
What does a clock
do when it’s still hungry? It goes back
four seconds.
I wonder why the
baseball was getting bigger, then it hit me.
May the Source be with you!
