Groan. Louder groan.

I could have sworn that was setting up for a punchline of “Aha-aha-ai, when two tribes go to war”.

Or maybe Aha-aha-ai’m hooked on a feeling.

As my family gets older, it’s been harder to take care of my elderly father. Lately he’s been having continence troubles, so we’ve bought him some special underpants. This time of year though, it is a bit chilly and he complains they’re not as warm as his regular pants.

My sister decided to make him a pair out of lovely warm fleece material and wrap it up as a Christmas present. When he opens it, we’ll wish him a merry Christmas and sing “Fleece nappy, dad!”

(Apologies in advance for resurrecting this thread without adding an actual joke.)

I copied that one into work chat yesterday after one of my colleagues had posted Rupert Brackenbury: "If you have a character in a story called #Cassan…" - Mastodon NZ as “One for the classical studies folks”, and the same person replied to me with:

Fun facts: Odysseus was often said to be guided and protected in his journey home by the goddess Athena. One of her more common epithets is Glaukopis, “with gleaming eyes”. Conversely, the name Calypso means “she who conceals”.

Now consider the lines:

  • “your love is like a shadow on me all of the time”
  • “I don’t know what to do, I’m always in the dark”

And finally:

  • “turn around, bright eyes”

I’ve never before been given so much validation for a bad pun!
