Every now and then a terrible pun streak breaks out on our Slack, like today:
Me: The Codex – Iron miscellany is the toughest one yet in terms of choosing which ones make the cut. There are so many good ones!
Ferrell: You could say it takes an iron will to make those cuts.
Dylan: Not a bad problem to have. More of a wrinkle, really. I’m sure you’ll get it ironed out.
Ferrell: You could take all the entries, put them in a circle, and use a spinner to decide. I think it’s fair to use a ferrous wheel.
Christo: Watch out for irony, that will be next…
Dylan: Ore will it?
Dylan (later): If Iron Man and Silver Surfer team up, would they be alloys?
Dylan (later): Iron puns are iffy (editor’s note: this one is actually really subtle and good)
Christo: Don’t worry, these iron puns will die out.
Dylan: We’re wrought with iron puns!
I hear all pun runs in Andy Zaltzman’s voice.
