Darling, Demented Dad and "David After Dentist"

Delightful to see you here, this marvelous "D" day!

I have a lot of stuff to do today, so I am going to *gasp* reuse some old material!

I love my parents. The weirdness definitely does not fall far from the tree. (did that metaphor even make any sense?)

Last summer I was having a random conversation with a group of people over at Nik at Nite (the reason I started blogging in the first place) and we were peppering our entire conversation with truly groan-worthy puns. So I went to our resident pun expert and asked my Dad if he had any suggestions. We kind of played around with a few things, but then he had to go mow the lawn. When he came back in he said I had done a terrible thing to him, putting the thought of vegetable puns into his head right before he would have a lot of time to just think about it.

I posted his ridiculously hilarious story then, but no one was reading the blog (because there really wasn't much reason to be reading it - I can be honest with myself). But now there are people reading! Which totally blows my mind, I can tell you! *feels special*

So without further ado, here is the hilarious pun filled story, written by dear old Dad:

Julius Caesar Salad and Hamlettuce

Ferns, Romaines, countrymen, lend me your ears!

The ears have been taken by Colonel Corn Wallace.

We need to retrieve them.

Who was that?

General Cabbage, head of the German brigade.

He doesn't look very happy.

He's a bit of a Saurkraut.

What does he have to be unhappy about? I heard he was running away to be married.

He cantaloupe. His sweet pea wants him to work in her father's factory.

The chicken factory outside of town?

Yes, the eggplant.

We could send spies from the purple underground.

How many should we send?

Two beets or not two beets? That is the question.

Oh, goodness, that never fails to make me laugh!

And just for fun I will leave you with this hysterical YouTube video:
