    I didn’t know that peas were so popular……. I thought that I was the only one who ate them…… my wife throws them out of her plates………….

    Jefferson and a friend has a long standing bet as to whose peas would be harvested first. His were always first but he did not want to embarrass his friend, so he did not tell him. By the way the winner always hosted the dinner featuring English peas.

    Everyone seems to be missing the pun here! Am I the only one who saw it right away? It’s a good one, Thaves!

    As with all puns, this one deserves only a personal groan.

    This brings to mind what the vicar said to the new sexton: “Mind your keys and pews.”

    “Now you customers, let’s get some order here!”

    Well sir, it’s I before he except after she!"

    (Please don’t throw things at me! ☺)

    There’s no such thing as a lame pun. It has been said that those who like puns tend to have higher IQs.

    There’s no such thing as a lame pun. It has been said that those who like puns tend to have higher IQs.Two quotes I found on puns:

     

    Being able to quickly derive phrases that seem to break a “first level” of rules while being consistent and related to the subject in a non-trivial way can be seen as a thorough application of deep pattern-matching, which as it seems is the base of our intelligence.

     

    So people who dislike puns tend to be people who seek a level of control that doesn’t exist. If you have an approach to the world that is rules-based, driven by hierarchy and threatened by irreverence, then you’re not going to like puns.

    But he is watching the peas and queues.

    The peas I associate with legumes are green split peas and yellow split peas.

    Origin of “Minding your p’s and q’s”. Interesting.
