Too HOT for work! (must be for play instead) Punday Monday 87 Comedy Open Mic 46
Welcome to Punday Monday!
New To Punday?
Pull up a stool, order a spiked PUNch, and get to know some of the regulars. I'm your PUNtender, @improv.
How To Make a Pun
This contest is open to everyone. Here's a handy dandy guide on how to make a pun: Learn to Pun
Rules for the PUN-test:
- If you hope to win a prize, your pun must be your original work
- Puns must be relevant to the topic of the week to win a prize, but they can be very loosely related.

Regardless, check out the @freewritehouse community! Furthermore, they/we’re using their SP to upvote your puns!

Coinbase:
Cryptocurrency investment wallet Join HERE and we’ll both get $10 of BTC
- Hot tip, I buy BTC on pro.coinbase.com, then send it to bittrex to trade for Steem and send steem to my wallet here. It’s the most efficient way with the fewest fees I’ve found. If you’ve found better, let me know. - I learned from someone else that buying LTC and sending it to bittrex then trading it for BTC then trading that for STEEM is the least-fees way. Can someone confirm?

A little more info about my uncle
Here's a story father told me (Cecile) and my brother (Tyson) about my how aunt and uncle met.
My Aunt Zooey was working in a Pet Shop and uncle came in to buy a pet.. An exotic special animal.
But, because it was an exotic The taxes were high.
So my Aunt this for this special Bird had a Fire sale and rose up had the "Fees nixed", because she had one herself.
From that day forward, they were inseparable. Later they had your cousins, "Two sons".
So believe the story of Aron and Zoe, Naw? .You got me. I just wanted to state some stuff for C. T.'s amusement.
Sorry only 4.5 puns this week.

Do you mind if I ASU if you expected the weather in Arizona would be cold and rainy or are U OF A predisposition to think optimistically?
The Navajo people tell a story about way back in the beginning of time when the young mountain laid down to sleep next to the Arizona desert. As soon as the desert fell asleep the mountain would poke the desert awake. After about the third time the desert became angry and thundered back at the mountain, "Why do you disturb me from my slumber?" The mountain echoed back, "I can't sleep because you're SONORAN."
I lived in Arizona for nine months back in '06 and '07. That is no joke. I had a place in Tucson between the University and downtown. Mostly, I enjoyed the many varieties of cactus that grow in the desert.
That's all really. I don't have a point to that. I just wanted to make conversation...
Saguaro you all doing?
