Happy Easter

[whiskywill]

A man is driving along a highway and sees a rabbit jump out across the middle of the road. He swerves to avoid hitting it, but unfortunately the rabbit jumps right in front of the car.
The driver, a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulls over and gets out to see what has become of the rabbit. Much to his dismay, the rabbit is the Easter Bunny, and he is DEAD .

The driver feels so awful that he begins to cry. A beautiful blonde woman driving down the highway sees a man crying on the side of the road and pulls over.
She steps out of the car and asks the man what's wrong.
"I feel terrible," he explains," I accidentally hit the Easter Bunny with my car and KILLED HIM."

The blonde says, "Don't worry." She runs to her car and pulls out a spray can. She walks over to the limp, dead Easter Bunny, bends down, and sprays the contents onto him.
The Easter Bunny jumps up, waves its paw at the two of them and hops off down the road. Ten feet away he stops, turns around and waves again, he hops down the road another 10 feet, turns and waves, hops another ten feet, turns and waves, and repeats this again and again and again and again, until he hops out of sight.

The man is astonished and runs over to the woman and demands, "What is in that can? What did you spray on the Easter Bunny?"

The woman turns the can around so that the man can read the label.
It says………………………………………….

"Hair Spray
Restores life to dead hair, and adds permanent wave."

Happy Easter!! !

This joke is wrong on so many levels.
Firstly, a hare and a rabbit are not the same creature, although hares are sometimes called jackrabbits.
Secondly, hair and hare refer to different things.
Thirdly, all hair outside the follicle is technically dead anyway, and no amount of spray will bring it back to life.
Finally, the woman is a blonde, but nothing she does or says fits the blonde(dumb/stupid/ditzy) woman stereotype. This is very confusing.

Apart from that, Happy Easter.

Interestingly(to me at any rate), I was listening to an English by Radio broadcast from the BBC World Service about 40 years ago, which was explaining the subtle difference between a pun and a play on words.
According to the presenter, a pun relied on similar sounding words which had no etymological connection, such as the well-know quote from Hilaire Belloc "“When I am dead, I hope it may be said, 'His sins were scarlet, but his books were read.”
A play on words, on the other hand, in which the two words share a common root, was demostrated by "The architect in jail complained that the walls were not built to scale", wherein the word scale, in both senses, comes from the Latin word for a ladder or staircase.

The reason I find this interesting is that I have never since found any reference to there being any distinction between a pun and a play on words, in fact my 1988 Colins Concise dictionary actually defines a pun as a play on words.

Happy Vernal Equinox!

Hhmm.

1. I am an afficiaonado of the late Sheldon Brown, cycling commonsense guru and certainly intended no connection.

2. Appropos the use of inverted commas, as a viewer of "The Big Bang Theory" (please note: double inverted commas) and particularly after the last post, I rest my case....Q.E.D. :-"

[John Brown]

Oh, now I understand.
The cycling guru was the first one to spring to mind, as I've never seen "The Big Bang Theory".

Incidentally, "apropos" has only two ps. :roll: :roll:
