probably my personal favorite in a very meta way, the Grand
Panjandrum's Special Award for the "Vile Pun" category:

"Upon discovering that Miles Black, the famous phrenologist from
Yorkshire was going to take up yodeling to lonely goats in Bali, James
White decided to balance four planks of wood on a beer keg and call it
an abstract work of art in the style of a famous fourteenth-century
architect, just going to prove that people will read any old garbage
if they think there will be a good pun at the end of it."

That's just beautiful, is all.

heh heh heh.

So one of my coworkers was wandering down the hall, in recovery from some conversation further up the hall in which proctologists were mentioned; apparently he thought bringing them up in casual conversation was "mean" (well, not really, but that's what he said).

I pointed out that proctologists can be very useful depending on the circumstances: after all, a good proctologist can save your ass.

This resulted in (a) hilarity and (b) one of those moments in which everyone around immediately wonders why this pun had never crossed their radar before. Go me. :)

(Since there isn't really a dress code here, perhaps this is our version of "Casual Friday".)
