@ecoinstant
For the wham bam of sadness and funniness that comes from the civil war puns! Such well designed puns on such a painful topic!

And what prizes do they win, you ask?

Why, as usual, all the punsters got full strength upvotes on their submissions.

Our category winners will each get to choose a post (of their own or someone else's) and I will give that post a fully powered upvote and a @tipu tip!

And the big, exciting prize of 1 SBI will go to @ecoinstant!

As in,
Why do Muslims win races during Ramadan? Because they FAST!

Perfect,

I'm so good at puns....

If you've never punned before, it might seem like magic! You can do it, too! Learn how in My Free How-To Guide on Punning!

I've entered this contest in the @comedyopenmic contest as well! It's turtles all the way down, and a set of all sets contains itself.

Sort:  

Whitewater rafting is a lot of fun but it tends to be over rapidly.

A guy in a banana hammock was surprised by a fellow who slipped in a speedo.

And then they both flip-flopped over a man running in thongs!

Well the guy in the track suit shouldn't have been clogging the sidewalk.

He was a real sweater, knitted and salty water!

I got here as fast as I could after finding this link. I’m not too quick on my feet when it comes to thinking up puns, but here goes nothing:

When the orchestra conductor left the countryside for the hustle and bustle of the big city, he had to sell all his lawn ornaments. But he made sure he held on to his metro gnome.

Rapid as you were able! Huzzah!

Last time I saw Elmer Fudd he was climbing into a rubber raft with his shotgun.

He said he was going to shoot the wapids.

If you get a b-minus on your bicycle, they take your bike and give you an icicle.

That's a pity. Also, it's related to this week's topic because bicycles move quickly.

Thanks I needed that explanation.

Have you heard Tech N9ne's latest single where he musically explains certain components of Freud's theories on the human Psychic Apparatus? Not only did it win [insert misc. rapping award] for fastest rapping, but it's got a dope beat. It's called Rap Id.
...crickets...

Holy shit a Tech N9ne reference on steemit. Never thought I would see the day.

Mass adoption here we come! :D
Better have a Caribou Lou in celebration.

My daughters' godfather actually does some of Techs clothing line from what I hear. Skandalous inc here in Kansas City. Luke also does some decals for our race car. He actually made out steemit decals.

skandalous inc across her boobs. :)

Wow! That's way out there, but this was a tough one!

LOL the random words are always a tough pun, but I find that if you make the story long enough, the pun eventually finds itself. :)

Exactly!

I love this theory! My mind is weird and when it can't find funs it starts rhyming!

Crickets that are applauding wildly!

No crickets here! You actually elicited an audible chuckle from my time zone with that joke. It had such a profound effect on me, as a matter of fact, that my entire rap superego was rapidly overcome with the super giggles.

P-Diddy was a fine, aspiring young poet but he just could not sing. He signed up for voice lessons, but he was eager to become a star and learning to carry a tune was taking WAY to long. To hasten his rise to fame and fortune. he decided not so sing his lyrics, he just rapid (rapp-ed.)

Badabing, ya' been punned... OK, it is a little lame, I am out of practice... and I was in a hurry!

Hooray, for hurried puns! Sometimes you just gotta get them out there, and you know I love a good shaggy dog story.

Hey nice work! It even made sense (sort of....)!

"Sort of making sense" is above the bar I have set for myself... lol!

Thats great, I too find that if I keep the bar low I participate more ;p

Yay! Low bars for everyone!

Just be careful not to trip!

I bought you a new car for your birthday, but I couldn't find a way to rapid, so I guess I'll just keep the car for myself. Happy birthday anyway.

You can use it to motor on over to our place! That'd be wheel nice.

Posted using Partiko Android

Oh, I was GOING to, but then...I realized it is such a long drive, I'd probably get wheel tired. And that wouldn't be safe. You understand.

They've got these new-fangled things called rest stops. When you get tired, you go to them and then someone takes your car away, saving you from driving while tired.

I tried my hand at a rapid pun, but the day turned dark and my mind went numb.

Is this a pun???? I think it's technically a rhyme, but what the hell do I know?

Let's make it into a pun poem, shall we?

Is this a pun? I think it's a rhyme,
but what the hell do I know?

Said the hare to the goose
on the three-legged moose,
"I'm as rabbid as a rhino!"

"You mean hippo," said goose
on the three-legged moose
"you mean 'hungry as a hippo.'"

"No, no," said hare,
Pointing just over there...
"I'm a rabbit. And he is a rhino!"

You're helping!

Yay!!! She DOES exist!

...who? asked the owl.

Oh @littlescribe ; iz you pokin fun at'z my pun-less attempt at'a pun...?

Well, to be honest, I felt a really great rhyme scheme coming from "what the hell do I know" and I guess I just couldn't help myself.

You did well...having been 'magically' inspired.

It's not a pun, but It gets an upvote for the attempt anyway! I do hope you have @dustsweeper, though, because my upvote is worth such a small amount it might not pay out right now. I remember the halcyon days of yore, 6 months ago, when my upvote was worth tens of cents!

Yes, I do have dustsweeper, thank you. If you think your VP is bad...look at mine???

I see yours! ;P

Zoom was so quick,
his speed made him sick.
To the doctor he went
and the prescription was sent.
His stomach was green;
his problem: the spleen.
Digestion went through,
epxress to the loo.
To stop bowel blast
the solution was FAST.

But how did he keep from starving?

Intravenous Brisk-et!

Wonderful! You found another pun! You're gonna be talking in puns pretty soon.

Finally found a good one! Just noticed the synonym brisk today, was so excited!!! Also, I did notice your nomination, and will get around to that in one of my upcoming daily dlive videos!

Also, I believe he drank Nestle QUICK!

And hurried cam!

Malapropism, anyone?
