A punny thread like this seems to "draw" a lot of "colorful" "mugs" into it. They get "wrapped" up in it.

BTW, I'm not trying to needle anybody in this thread.

Dave, Nobody accused you of needling and we hope you won't "swing-away" or "clam" up. David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

Dave- Ok I was going to use the "clamming" up joke but someone beat me to it. Suffice it to say, it is my sense of humor that is the "power" that "drives" me. On the other hand, no one would dare match my "PMS" on my worst days. LOL You can see now why I typically refrain from throwing my hat into the pun mix. Becky

Becky, Maybe we can "clamp" down on people who use too many of the good words up, in one post. :-) David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

"Clamping' down may be a new theme to go for.

Maybe even a 'theme park'.

I for one will go for the 'ride', and maybe roll on a coast for a while.

This may have some "ups and downs" but I will give it a "spin" I have a few "lined" up in the "queue" After all, it builds up "character" and can lead to a "bumper" crop of creativity. I feel like I am on a "super duper loop" (only PA folks will get that one) of puns. I will now "EXIT" here........

Becky,

It seems that Barnum had a problem at his famous museum of oddities.

The museum had become so popular that the patrons wouldn't leave and the building quickly filled to capacity. This prevented more patrons from helping to fill P.T.'s bank account.

Barnum thought for a bit, then had signs with arrows made-up saying "This way to the Great Egress". Sure enough, people followed the signs to a large set of doors over which read "The Great Egress".

Full of anticipation they went through the doors only to find themselves back out on the street.

Few people know that Uncle Loren actually worked with Barnum on a new electric generator project. The boards inside were designed to look like the circular inner pattern of large woody perennial plants... they called them "Tree Ring Circuits".... ...but I "egress"...... :-) Uncle Loren can't bring himself to go to theme parks anymore. The last ride he was on threw him out of the seat, and into the path of the oncoming car....which was rolling super fast on huge circular disks made of iron.... He survived, but ever since has had a fear of "ferrous wheels".... >.< Steve
