Revenge of the nerds
The pun backfires!!!
As was the standing rule in our youth, at every meal we were reminded of all the starving children in the world and sternly admonished to: “eat every bean and pea in your plate.” Having been the victim of too many of Dad’s bad puns, my older brother and I decided to turn the table on him. We carefully orchestrated our plot and rehearsed several times before we made our “stand.” The occasion was the evening meal and, as usual, the warnings had been administered. My brother glanced over and winked at me and the game was on…..We hastily consumed every last morsel in our plates and when they were clean we both stood up in our chairs and began to feign a mock-urination ceremony.. When Dad inquired as to: “what in the hell do you think you’re doing?” We, in unison, replied; “Why we are doing exactly as instructed for we have eaten every bean and are now going to PEE in our plates.”
As our “message” set in, a grin came upon his face and he simply stated: “I can see that the bad-pun gene is hereditary and has passed on –at ease, gentlemen.”
