A series of unfortunate puns
Written at: 23:14 12 Sep, 2005
Suzanne at work pointed at the silver circle around my finger and asked, "Is that your wedding band [1) a flat ring worn to denote that one is married, and 2) a musical group that plays at a wedding]?"
"Well," I replied, "not really. The full band [a group of musicians] would also have horns [1) brass wind instruments, and 2) bony protrusions]."
"Oh," she said, slowly. "So then that, on your finger, is ... ?"
"This," I said, relishing things more than I probably should have, "is just the ringmaster [the leader of a performance, including perhaps of a band]."
